How Have Your Glioblastoma Experiences With Temozolomide Been?

My husband has just been diagnosed with Right frontal lobe glial neoplasm. He had no symptoms except one day while out had a small dizzy spell. Doctors want to do radiation and chemo on a non-opera tumor. Only side effects he had was after biopsy to his left side but had improved. I’m questioning the chemo (pills) part. He starts radiation and chemo 10/30/24. He was a very active and healthy 82 year old. I wonder to save he’s body of the side effects from chemo would be more humane.

My 75 year old husband has glioblastoma right frontal lobe diagnosed in May. He had tumor removed, radiation, chemo, and Optune. He is on his forth month of chemo-TMZ and has had few side effects from the TMZ (no nausea, some tiredness). Tough decisions for you. My husband's steroids and seizure meds are a different story with side effects.

Of course each of us is different but I’ve truly only experienced mild fatigue and “chemo brain”. I am halfway through my TMZ and Optune treatments. Hoping the next 3 months goes as smoothly as the first 3
