High grade glioma: waiting for remainder of molecular testing

The methylation test is important. If positive you may respond to TMZ. A very tolerable chemotherapy option. I have Ben on it five days a month for a year now. Other than occasionally having nausea I find it very tolerable. Did get a rash on my back from it. It was not a systemic allergy and responded well to steroid cream.

Even some tumors that are not methylated respond to chemotherapy for reasons not yet known according to Dr Wendy Sherman of Mayo. She is head of brain tumors at Mayo Jacksonville FL.
So, have hope either way.
