i would call the dr. today
i would call the dr. today and tell them about the head aches and aggression. not all people react the same to the same chemo. for instance my husbands first chemo was temodar and it did not work at all but for others it worked. all of your question should be answered by the drs. and again call today they need to know this now and possibly get you in earlier. my husbands tumor was a grade 3 and in place of the tumor he has scar tissue which shows up on his mri and for some time they were not sure if it was tumor or scar tissue, that was 10 yrs ago yesterday! 4 yrs. ago the drs. stop his chemo probably to see what would happen and so far he is cancer free. so i guess what i am saying is that anything is possible when you have cancer. -

Hi Sue
Thanks for your response. We saw the oncologist and he has put hubby back on dexmethsone...only a low dose 2mg a day. Hubby has also been taken a mushroom extract supplement which may have caused some of his new symptoms so we are going to stop the supplement and see how he goes for a couple of days before starting the dex.
Regards
