My husband just had a astrocytoma tumor removed from his brain and will start radiation and chemo next week. They rate them from a 1 to a 4 with 4 being the worst. His was a 4. The oncologist has said that even with radiation and chemo his life expectancy is 12 to 20 months. I have checked the message boards and no one has mentioned this type of cancer yet, and I was hoping for some input for alternative ways to treat this disease. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
