On Treatment

Temodar cycle 21 starts next Monday and my platelets are at the highest they have ever been during chemotherapy. That is amazing. (See chart.)

I remembered thinking that after taking Temodar this long my body would be weaker than when I started. However, I seem to be tolerating the months of this dosage just fine. I am grateful my body is receptive to this drug because I know it does not work for everyone the same way.

I am glad I stuck it out and didn't stop after 12 months, 16 months, or 18 months. I am in this for the long haul (24 months).

Update from 2026: in the end, I ended up having a recurrence in 2021 and 2022. I ended up doing another six months of Temodar. — Liz
