Hi, my name is Sandra and my husband's name is Robert. My husband was diagnosed with a grade 3 astrocytoma in June 03. He had an emergency surgery and was on radiation and chemo. He did very well for 14 months while on Temodar, but when he when back to the doctor for a repeat mri, they found that the tumor had grown significantly and is now a grade 4. He just had his 2nd operation in July 05 and is now doing chemo while awaiting this new trial. I am so glad that I have had this chance to read your wonderful story. Keep your positive attitude! You and your family are in my prayers. Sandra(Rob's wife)
