@colleenyoung Mom is feeling good, she walks on her own now (though she couldn’t before), has a very good / big appetite, and is taking dexamethasone 8 mg per day.
Radiotherapy will be performed on the Varian Halcyon system.
The oncologist says no TMZ will be added because MGMT is unmethylated and platelets are fluctuating; the latest blood tests showed 87 units.
