A member asked:
Starting temodar (temozolomide) prescription for treatment of anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumor. what are strange side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not strange: Temodar, (temozolomide) like other chemotherapy agents, may cause nausea and vomiting, may cause a general sense of "malaise", and will have a risk of lowering your white blood cell counts and making you more susceptible to certain infections. It is generally well-tolerated however, more so than most other agents used for astrocytomas. There are no "strange" side-effects that i know of. Talk to your doctors.
