My husband was diagnosed with a large glio in April with no surgery available due to the location and size. Three days after the diagnosis there was a tumor bleed (doc thought it was a growth spurt of the tumor) and he lost all mobility on his left side.
Proved wrong about the tumor, my husband has almost all mobility back except he will use a leg brace and walker.
He was allowed to have a 6 week tx of chemo combined with chemo. The MRI now shows the tumor arrested, but he has another tumor the size of a pea. They want to continue monitoring both tumors and continue with the oral temodar until November. The oncologist says he feels there is less cancer cell that previously thought because my husband keeps getting better physically.
Mood swings are hard to live with--crying, anger outbursts and frustration due to his condition of immobility and the loss of being able to work and just be with our kids (two teenagers). They still say 12 to 15 months with the chemo continuing. We pray daily for a miracle.
