      Yes, do consider compassionate ipi…I finished my first round of temodar two weeks ago, saw doctor today and she was not happy..I have progression.  Ipi compassionate will be coming to Montreal and they think within 2 weeks…so before I start second round of temodar, I will be in touch with clinical nurse. If ipi starts soon, that will be where I will land BUT if ipi is delayed I will then do another round of temodar (she says ‘rather than do nothing’).  Of course, there is a 28-day wait to clean out system before starting ipi that is why she is hoping that it arrives very soon. She does advise that ipi will be much harsher on the system and have to be closely monitored.
