PS, my husband is doing pretty well. He has 4 more proton bean radiation and 5 more days of low dose chemo. Then a month off.

My husband is going through the same thing, only we've completed the radiation and low dose chemo, had a month off, then 5 days of higher-dose chemo. We are now closing in on the 28 days of no meds to start TMZ again for 5 days.

He got a bit nauseous, but really tolerated the TMZ quite well.

He wears the Optune arrays for about 21 hours a day most days. We end up having to change them sometimes twice a day because he's an outdoor guy and sweats through them.

My husband turned 61 last month. He remains very active, though is slowing down and takes frequent rests.

Good luck to you and yours!
