Has Anyone Been On The Chemo Pill Called Temodar (temozolomide). If So, What Has Been The Benefit Vs. The Side Effects.

A MyMelanomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Rumson, NJ

Metastatic Melanoma, brain, bone, lung, etc. Immuno did not work, have been on chemo duo pills for 8 months. Body cancer doing well but brain cancer is growing expediential. Already had a few GammaKnife treatments and brain surgery to remove a tumor to identify the type of cancer. Had melanoma 25 years ago, early stage but after diagnosed with MSA (multiple systems atrophy) all hell broke loose.
Thank you for any insight you can provide regarding what to expect from Temodar.
