Chemo-Radiotherapy failed: Recurrence

All -

Mom's tumor has recurred in multiple areas in the operating bed right in the middle of first round of chemo and radiation. We had started her cocktail as well. Doctors have stopped chemo and radiation, calling it failure.

I need to decide on the next possible treatment option. We are still waiting for her genetic report. But this news is a huge setback as it does not leave time for us to try various things over a longer period of time. Surgery will not be feasible. I believe doctors will be cooperative in letting us avail of other treatments on compassionate use basis as well. But something probably needs to work more immediately now.

Please advise what options we should be pursuing here in US or in Germany.

Low white blood cell count (leucocytic count)..stop cocktail??

Dear Stephen and everyone
Ahmad did his blood tests before 4th round of ccnu..
The total white blood cell count ( leucocytic count: (pcv,mcg,mcg)) , are all low..the Dr. Advised us to delay this round of ccnu..
My question..should we stop tamoxifen and cocktail  too??

Also his liver functions tests are high:
SGPT (ALT) 113 u/l.       Ref range (0_49)
SGOT (AST) 54.   U/l.                         (0-34)

I am posting as the Dr. Simply told me to stop everything we r taking..so anyone has a better advice out of ur experience??

Thank you

Thrombocytopenia

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone experienced low platelets after the 6 weeks of temodar/RT that led to delayed treatment of the adjuvant cycles of TMZ. My mom's platelets aren't coming back up. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks
