Hi. I am new to this blog thing, but was recommended by a patient in the office with me. My husband had been diagnosed with a Grade 4 astrocytoma/gliobastoma, MGMT promoter absent, and is also negative for the IDH mutation. He had a craniotomy on 4/4, and as of 7/6, he's completed 24 of his 30 radiation/oral chemo. His symptoms have been mild for the most part up until last week. He is feeling the nausea, and a mild headache but has since added another dose of zofran and taking Tylenol during the day. After the 30 treatments he will get a 3 week break, then get another MRI to see if the treatments has improved his situation. I pray every day that they find a miracle drug that will slow this disease down. Thank you for sharing your stories on here.

Hello, @lori615 and welcome. What a wonderful way to be introduced to Mayo Clinic Connect through meeting another patient in the waiting area.

It sounds like your husband's treatment journey is moving along with few bumps up til now. Have thhee Zofrran and Tylenol helped with the nausea and headache? Only 6 more treatments to go. How are his spirits? How are YOU doing?
