What Would Be The Ramifications Of Skipping A Dose Or Delaying The Radiation Team For A Person Having Glioblastoma?

Skipping or delaying a dose of Temodar? I have a Glioblastoma stage 4, discovered 10 months ago Dr. operated 1 week later. Did standard 33 day radiation treatment with temodar for 45. am currently 49, on the 5/28 day plan, month 7 of 12. I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with a ministry school in Manila, Philippines for 4-5 weeks. What would be the ramifications of skipping a dose or delaying it for a week or two.

Hi. I would advise you not to skip a dose or delay it. You can take the medicine while working. your medicine is to be taken by mouth. Many of my patients who are taking injectable chemotherapy come on short leave from office/job, get their chemotherapy and go back to work. You have to take capsules for 5 days in 28 days. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wishing you best of luck.
