My husband is 45 and in March of 2005 he had a MRI and we found out he has a large brain tumor on his left side of his brain and then he had a biopsy and the doctors said the tumor was a Astrocytoma grade 3 tumor and because of the size and location of the tumor it can not be removed. He has had all the radiation that he can have and was on steriods. For a while there he was so sick and we even got second opinions and were told by the looks of his MRI he should not even be here and he should be in a wheel chair. The doctors could not get over how well he could function. Then he was sent to the OSU James Cancer Hospital they put him on the chemo drug called Temodar for 5 days out of each month and he now is on his 12 month of Temodar treaments and he just had a MRI that showed the tumor is shrinking!!! My husband is very bull headed and has lots of faith. What ever you do "do not give up" even when there seems to be no hope! I know it seems like you are on an emotional roller coaster at times. Just hang in there and think positive and pray alot and eat healthy!! NEVER GIVE UP! Hugs! Connie & Mike
