@nana120 You’re certainly going through a great deal of medical trials right now. That’s exhausting, isn’t it? It’s not uncommon for blood counts to decrease while undergoing chemo. At least in my experience, the rebound each month was slower than the round before. Now that you’re off the Temozolomide that may give your bone marrow a chance to recover its production level of healthy blood cells. Is this just a temporary break in treatment for you or have you completed your cycles?

@loribmt My NET specialist says that big pharma and I do not do well together. Before Temozolomide I was on lanreotide injections for 8 mos. I eventually had a Y90 that seems to be slowly working. However, 2 more small tumors have shown up in my liver, but they are not yet large enough to treat. We are in what he likes to call “a sit tight” period with CT scans with contrast every 3-4 months. To have 2 forms of cancer I consider myself a very blessed 84 (May 28) year old! I love following Mayo Clinic chats & always learn something!
