Hi, everyone. I am a stage IV melanoma patient being treated for five small brain mets. I am currently doing radiation for those. Just had a pet scan done which showed three positive lymph nodes, no other mets besides brain. My oncologist is recommending three mponths of temodar.. From reading posts on here, I have seen where some patients have had good response with it, and some not so good. I would appreciate hearing success stories from fellow patients that have been treated with Temodar. Thanks a lot.

  Hi Becky,
  
  I took Temodar for a year — had several mets on my face that disappeared, a definite response. One that remained was smaller when surgically removed. Few side-effects.
