Episode 19 - Chemotherapy and Temozolomide

<p>Hello! I hope you are all doing well!  I explain why I wasn't recording for a few weeks and I am so sorry! This episode took me around 5 or 6 days to finally finish editing and get posted. I have no idea what happened during my recording, but possibly one of my fans kicked on and I had ridiculous amounts of junk noise to remove in post. I did 2 passes with noise reduction but any more than that and I would have ruined the recording. So hopefully this sounds alright to you all. I may have spent 8 or so hours working on cutting this down to a reasonable length as well. </p> <p>I don't know how I somehow never covered the topic of chemo and temozolomide. </p> <p>I've got a lot of links for you here! </p> <p><a href='https://healthonline.washington.edu/sites/default/files/record_pdfs/How-Take-Temozolomide-(Temodar).pdf'>https://healthonline.washington.edu/sites/default/files/record_pdfs/How-Take-Temozolomide-(Temodar).pdf</a></p> <p>^This is a great guide on properly taking your Temodar.^</p> <p><a href='https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/brain-tumour-diagnosis-treatment/treating-brain-tumours/adult-treatments/chemotherapy/temozolomide/'>https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/brain-tumour-diagnosis-treatment/treating-brain-tumours/adult-treatments/chemotherapy/temozolomide/</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/role-temozolomide-cns'>https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/role-temozolomide-cns</a></p> <p>Below is the MGMT paper I referenced </p> <p><a href='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa043331'>https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa043331</a></p> <p>If anyone is interested, here is the link to the show about IDH/MGMT.</p> <p><a href='https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-byggz-dc0367'>https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-byggz-dc0367</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you all so much for tuning in.
