Temodar (in pill form like before) starting now for 5 day cycles once every 4 weeks. Not sure of the duration yet, but we'll see how things go.
And then in two weeks Conan will also start Avastin. It will be given via IV once every 2 weeks at UIHC. This is to interrupt blood supply to the tumor area. It is used for other types of cancer but it's use for brain tumors is a newer treatment. Again, not sure of the duration, but docs will monitor his ability to weather the drugs.
All of this feels deflating after being so pleased that the surgery went well, but it's all just part of the climb back to wellness.
