I have just started treatment, 5 days once a month. 2 weeks off so far. I completed a series of radiation first. Extreme fatigue a lot of non listed symptoms. My hair is increaded in loss from when it did from radiation. Has anyone experienced hair loss from Temodar? I was told it would not happen.

Diagnosis on 12/24/09 with surgery on 1/4/10. 6 weeks of radiation with 180 mg of Temador. Continued Temador for another 8 months. MRI every two months. From the beginning I saw a naturalpath that specialized in Glioblastomas. Took ~100 supplements a day, down to 50 now. Recurrence in 10/11 as expected. I was told that there is an expectation that 90% will have a recurrence within two years.
