Impending Surgery!
30 April 2011 PET Scan
28 April 2011 MRS Follow-Up
26 April 2011 MRI Not Clean. Dr. Peak explained via phone within 6 hours.
3 January 2011 UCSF Visit. All is well!!
6 September 2010 Last Tarceva!
Need to fill in here!
16 October 2009 Quick visit with Dr. Adams, Oncologist at Kaiser Morse. All is going well. Will see in 2 weeks prior to Temodar restart.
5 October 2009 Drug treatment break is over, met with UCSF (Neurologist Jennifer Clarke) and restarted cocktail of Avastin infusion, Tarceva (both part of trial), and traditional Temodar (now only 5 days a month). Temodar is now 390mg (due to chubbiness) for 5 days, and they lowered my Tarceva to 100mg (due to earlier side effects). General analysis of MRI was to call it “A Happy MRI.” The no-parking zone in my head is smaller than immediately post-surgery.

16 September 2009 Radiation ends
15 September 2009 Last day of 2 Chemotherapeutic drugs for 2.5 weeks (Avastin infusion, Tarceva (both part of trial) and traditional Temodar)

Tour de Force de Erin: This Mom Fights 
Keep up the prayers and good work to beat this thing!
Best wishes and prayers from another family living with the big C- GBM 4.
Hi, I am so sorry, I just saw this. I am all about support amongst Glioma folks and their loves OK, I am also about the kids and starch foods but that is another posting.
Erin, I am from Brasil and my brother, Marcos ( 38 years ) is a GBM patient. His fight began in March/2009. He had the resection of the tumor, radio and chemoterapy. He was great till last year. In october, the tumor had return. After a radiosurgery, now, he is in chemoterapy with Temodar, Avastin and Ironotecano. I am very otimist, unless, the prognostic for glioblastoma is very bad. I believe that God and this treatment will save him. And I believe you will save, too.
My solidarity,
Sílvia.
