Ken has blood work done every 6 weeks. The last ones were clear. If
someone has consistent negative (if that is the right word) blood work,
can it be stretched out to 7 or 8 weeks or is it better on the 6 week
schedule?

Temodar: Periodic blood work to monitor your complete blood count (CBC) as
well as the function of other organs (such as your kidneys and liver) will
also be ordered by your doctor.

Why are you asking, maryanne?
Trying to figure out when you and/or he can take a holiday (vs his
treatment week vs his bloodwork week?).  Since they lowered the dose and
his bloodwork's been okay, I wouldn't expect a problem if the bloodwork's
delayed by a few weeks, but do ask his doctor, so you can get on with the
planning.
