Hello @lorena1963
Welcome to Mayo Connect. I am glad that you found this site.
Could you share the name of the chemo pill your doctor is considering? Perhaps another member will be familiar with it and respond to your question.
What is your most difficult symptom right now?

It is Temozolmide I think. The biopsy says one thing along with the spectroscopy but the tumor is still growing they think. It's being scared. I am no more special then anyone else. They found it in 2004 and watchu for so long. I am in uncharted territory for myself. Not to be long winded, I left my husband in February as he was addicted to opiods lost our house and a bunch of other things happened. Just really scared of being on my own I am so blessed. I have a wonderful church family and living situation with one of the families.
