Hello Stephen and all,
We have
finally received the MGMT status of my aunt's tumour, it is methylated. Now waiting on EGFR
amplification, which Princess Margaret in Toronto said they would test for as part of her
participation in the marizomib clinical trial.
Grade IV Glioblastoma
- idh(-) wildtype, ATRX(+), GFAP(+), p53(+)
- The ki67 proliferation status is estimated at 10%
- MGMT status: Methylated
I tried to
come up with what I think is a list of the drugs with the most potential to put
in a cocktail for my aunt. I do not want to overwhelm her with tons of prescription
pills…so trying to keep it on the smaller side right now. I also do not know
how much difficulty we will have in obtaining the prescriptions (mainly
chloroquine given its use primarily with Malaria).
She is already taking:
Imipramine 25mg – should we consider switching this to
Chlorimipramine?
Atenol 50mg
Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg
Apo-Phenytoin 300mg – this is her anti-seizure med
Co-Ranitidine 150mg
PMS-Dexamethasone 4mg
Not sure if any of these have any benefits in cancer treatment, perhaps
Imipramine?
Wondering if we should ask to switch to Keppra or Depatoke for anti-seizure?
She will be starting a Ketogenic
diet today, and her treatment of concurrent TMZ and Radiation will begin in about a
week once we find out if she will receive Marizomib as part of the trial.
Is there
anything you would suggest I add or remove?
I am still
looking into the dosage of cannabis oils.
