Was it the cancer or the Anemia that took Robert's life?*
Suspect the anemia doctors do not find, that is the more probable cause of death regardless of which cancer is diagnosed
Cindy cold to the core
My husband is in his second round of 5/23 Temodar- 445mg. a day. (219lb.) The first round he had fatigue during days 6 and 7, this round he had more fatigue- days 5,6 and 7- and yesterday (day 7) he could not warm up. He is bald... and I know hair helps keep the hair in, but last night he had a knit hat on, a sweater, a coat and 2 blankets- and we live in CA so the weather outside was mild. He describes it as "his core is cold". Has anyone experienced this? Any ways to warm up? cindy wo Jim- dx 7/31/08 GBM IV
Karen, a daughter of a mom, Lynn, with a brain tumor
Has he had his blood counts checked lately? My mom experienced the same thing and every time she had a low red cell count. She uses an electric blanket all the time! Karen d/o Lynn dx 7/07

Dear Cindy,
Did Jim have radiation? If so, you may want them to do blood work to check his thyroid. Depending on the location of the tumor/radiation it could have been damaged the thyroid. For my son, him being cold and fatigued were symptoms of hypothyroid as the thyroid was damaged by the radiation.

Tina: Is it just on the days that he takes the temodar? My NO said to take 1 extra strength tylenol when I take the zofran. Since then the chills have gone away
" ... could not warm up"
'the chills'
Also rapid heart beat?
Dizziness?
'shortness of breath?'
Thyroid issues?
... can be part of autoimmune issues that a common chemical in cleaning products, paint, dry cleaning ... can cause
These are most probably dealing with advance anemia
That of CFS, CFIDS, FM
That doctors do not generally find
It is more serious than the cancer, per se
Was he or a parent in the military?
Does someone at home clean a lot?
AVOID BUTYL in cleaning products, paint, etc
Find ANEMIA for proof that EGBE causes CFIDS, CFS, FM,
'gulf war illness' Most harm to Vietnam vets, too *
Interesting to note that some AIHA is with a raised temp -
Some with subnormal body temp
Recent exposure to 2-butoxyethanol or BUTYL shows a spike in body temperature, spike in blood sugar, spike in blood pressure - over a longer period of time (further away from acute exposures - FLU), you see subnormal body temp, low blood sugar, low BP (Autoimmune hypothalamus issues?)
