@djw, what an ordeal. This must've been scary for you. The bizarre behavior you describe could be an number of things, like the tumor, a urinary tract infection, the fall, other...? Has she had the MRI in the meantime? Do you have any answers?

The next MRI is scheduled for Dec 26. During that week she will also be on her chemo treatment cycle. Tests were negative for UTI. I believe the bizarre behavior is a result of the chemo affecting her brain. Since then she has been off chemo now for 10 days and behavior is normal, balance is better, and taste is returning and she is eating better. They wanted to increase her temodar from 200 mg to 300 mg on the last cycle, but I would not agree. I don't know what dose they want to use on the next cycle beginning Dec 24, but again, I won't agree to an increase, and think maybe the 200 mg is too much. There has to be some balance here and that is what we are searching for.
