Hi everyone. My husband has just finished his 4th round of chemo, following radiotherapy for a brain tumour. He was diagnosed 9 years ago, recently the cells started to transform hence the current treatment.
This chemo round, he has been having awful leg cramps. He's on temozolomide, for 5 days every 4 weeks. We will obviously speak to his doctor after Xmas but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has any advice or suggestions. A microwave heat pad has helped. Thanks
