Went to Duke on Wed, MRI showed progression of tumor, but they also said that the post radiation MRI could show it bigger than it actually is. So the radiation and temodar didn't work the way they were hoping. So next step is Avastin and CPT11 which I started Wed. have decided to do everything at Duke, where I feel I get the best care so treatments are every two weeks. So far I haven't had any side effects from the chemo, (maybe just a little more tired) which I'm very thankful. I will get two more treatments before I get another MRI on September 30.
