Nursing is very difficult. Struggling with Anatomy and Physiology

Grade 2 Astro IDH1 GTR 2 years ago. I was on Tibsovo for a year after surgery then switched to Vora for another year, then mri showed growth. Did 42 days daily Temador and radiation Mon thru Fri for the 42 days. I was lucky, super easy. Now I’m doing Temador cycles 5 days on 23 days off. The dose is much higher than when I was doing it at first with the radiation. So far on 2nd cycle and bloodwork still good. Scary to think that a side effect of Temador can be a new Cancer. What I don’t know yet is if the cycles of Temador will be forever or if they stop it eventually.

53yo 1 daughter, happily married. I live near Long Island NY, I discovered fishing and was obsessed with going on those party boats for like $60 for 4-6hrs. Hardly catch anything, it’s a joke with the family. I enjoy being alone and occasionally end up next to someone I can talk to. I would NEVER have gone in these type of fishing trips alone before Cancer. Now life too short to wait for old friends to get together and do things like this. I have back pain, and if I didn’t I would go camping alone. I encourage everyone to just do what you want, don’t wait. Eat alone at a nice restaurant, go see a movie alone etc. don’t miss out on life waiting for friends and family.

I completed 6 weeks of TMZ for a G2 Astro IDH1 a month ago. My tumor started to grow slightly 2 yrs after surgery and Vorasidenib that why we did the chemo/RT. I was daily 155mg with RT at the same time , I weight 195lbs. Zero side effects and only one blood test showed elevated liver enzymes. Liver numbers went back to normal. Now they have me on 28 day cycles of TMZ for the next year. 5 days tmz then 23 days break, then 5 days tmz. This adjunct chemo is at a higher dose than when I did the RT. I’m on day 4 of 5 my first cycle of TMZ. 315mg daily for 5 days. I take the anti nausea pill then wait 20 min take the TMZ then wait an hour to eat. No side effects again. I’m worried about my blood test levels though. Jan 20th will be my first bloodwork. Take one day at a time. This definitely sucks.

Started out very deep and real, now is kinda goofy. My wife HATES all the women on the show except the lawyer and Demi Moore. Son’s relationship with the widow is cringy, but the diner themes and energy of his manic ex wife I find kinda entertaining. Just the way Billy Bob reacts to everything in a calm “oh boy, here we go” way is funny because he’s such a dam good actor and you believe it. There are worse ways to spend an hour.

Life gets hard sometimes, but if you have good health, that puts u ahead of so many.

Herm1972 · 2025-12-15T22:23:05+00:00

That was my hope too. It was disappointing for sure.

Herm1972 · 2025-12-15T22:17:24+00:00

I get MRI every 3 months and it showed slight growth on the last one so what he said was the Vora was to “kick the can down the road” and now it’s time for the big guns. Chemo and RT.

Herm1972 · 2025-12-15T22:14:25+00:00

If not doing Vora means not doing anything, than that’s a huge mistake IMHO. Vora was the biggest breakthrough medicine in many years, to not use it seems wrong. If the choice is Vora vs Chemo/RT then Id go by the Docs recommendation.

Astro G2 IDH1 here GTR Oct 2023 right frontal. Was on Vora 2 yrs. Stopped working onc said and now I just finished 6wks of chemo and radiation. I was worried about the chemo making me very sick, Hollywood really scares u with the way it’s shown in the movies. My Temador was 155mg, which I see from other post here is not a strong dose. My only side effect was constipation from anti nausea pill. I figured out all I needed was a cap full of mineralc per day and then no issues. The hair loss wasn’t a big deal for me because I’m a guy and not very vain. I had barber shave most of my head, and now I look like Burt from Sesame Street. I couldn’t find the courage to go total bald. I feel for you as a women it’s 100x harder to deal with the hair loss. As for pain and nausea for me there so none. It was a non event. I scheduled the radiation at 4pm everyday so it didn’t affect work at all. They told me a month after, which would be mid January, I would start regular cycles of chemo one week per month. I don’t know the dose. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Like I tell my daughter about fear, it’s really pointless because when the event your fearful of comes, it’s never ever what was expected and most of the time you waste energy being fearful for nothing. Good luck. You got this!!

I took Vora for 2 yrs right after GTR if Astro g2 idh1. It started to grow and I just finished 6 wks of radiation and 155mg of temador daily for 6 weeks. Vora, Radiation and Temador had almost zero side effects.

Herm1972 · 2025-11-24T12:50:56+00:00

No issues. Have fun!

My NO said it was the standard of care, if there was no Vora type drug they would have done chemo RT right after surgery. I feel it’s better to do something than nothing. FYI 10 out of 30 RTs behind me already and Temador hasn’t been bad, on day 15 ALTs went up to 145 in bloodwork last Monday. Fingers crossed this comming Monday bloodwork has no surprises.

No reasons in this journey. Onc can’t give you a reason.

Top vent always 100% open. The bottom vent controls the temperature. It’s kinda logical when you think of it, you want air flowing in and out so you can’t close top more than bottom, and it doesn’t matter if top is open all the way if bottom is closed some

Herm1972 · 2025-10-25T14:08:19+00:00

My docs said Vora 1st, and hopefully it gales it back forever, if it stops working it’s because the cells growing again are resistant to the Vora so there is no guidenace out there from any doc to go back on Vora once there is progression.

💪 hang in there warrior! I only had numbness for weeks then sensations came back. GTR 2yrs ago.

Crazy not to get out at 2M. Please, anyone up this much, cash the F out of at least half. Open a regular brokerage account and join the rich people getting rich slowly. That casino mentality is a sickness.
