I, too, was diagnosed with this tumor 12/26/02 and given a 2-5 year expectancy. Mine has a WHO grade of 2, which I am thankful for the low growth even though it's still malignent. My Doc has me on 2 chemo cycles of Temodar followed by an MRI which has shown the tumor to have stopped growing but not declining. So far I have been able to maintain my independence, although a good day can change in an instant. Has anyone ever beaten this tumor entirely? Radiation isn't an option and my Doctor says he would have to take out 3/4's of my brain if I considered surgery. Any info would be appreciated.
