chemo vs tumor side effects
Subject: chemo vs tumor side effects
Sometimes the suggestion of chemo side effects can also be the symptoms or manifestations of the tumor itself. Temodar (brand name for the generic temozolomide) is primarily used in the treatment of brain tumors, i.e. gliomas, melanomas, astrocytoma, blastomas and the like. Photosensitivity is commonly correlated with gliomas and melanomas primaries as well as brain metastases....especially as these tumor types progress. Also, being a brain tumor, the location of the tumor itself (rather than its type) could be playing a central role in producing that symptom.

1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy
Subject: 1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy
You heard it right. It is "1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy."
It basically means the patient received 1.2 mg of a particular chemotherapeutic agent (which would be "specific" to her malignancy and which would be documented in her medical record/chart), mixed in 12 ml of a solvent which could be normal saline/dextrose water/or others, so that that particular chemotherapeutic agent that she is on, can be administered to her in the form of an injection.
