Kristen,
No, I'm not in a clinical trial. Yes, Temodar is approved for brain mets from bc.
"Spinal mets" if bone is not the same as "spinal fluid" nor the same as "spinal cord" which is the leptomeninges. And I just don't know the answer to your question. I'm sorry about that...
I have a great overworked onc who is receptive to the info I bring him, because he has taken the time to 'know' me and listen. He won't try anything just off the cuff, but relies on his experience AND the good quality info I show him. Thus, he came up with this particular Temodar/Xeloda schedule for me as an individual.
AFTER I had begun my first round, I found (and showed him) the small study reported last year at San Antonio using these two chemos for bc brain mets with good results. It was a different 'schedule'/ dosage and days, but we haven't changed what he created for me.
Thank you for your kind support!
