We met with my sister's neuro-oncologist, who suggested a combination of Temodar/Sorafenib. The Sorafenib (also known as Nexavar, and "a sister compound" of Sutent) is an antiangiogenesis drug. I asked about the combo of Temodar/Xeloda, and she said that might be another option, but the neuro-oncologist is seeing some very early encouraging results with Sorafenib/Temodar combo. She said they are "radiation sensitizers", so she would like my sister to start the protocol(if she choses it) before her next CyberKnife treatment.
The most common side-efffect of Sorafenib seems to be a rash on the hands and/or feet, which subsides when treatment is interrupted, and sometimes doesn't return when treatment is started up again. Pattyz, what side effects have you experienced on the Temodar/Xeloda combo? Thank you very much.
