I was diagnosed with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma in August 2008. It was the size of a softball. I had surgery, but he didn't remove all of it. I switched to Cleveland Clinic and had MRIs every 3 months. It grew slowly so I had another surgery in July 2009. It was a partial resection because there was some functional brain in the middle of the tumor. The pathology report showed some of it was grade 3 and I didn't have deletions like the first pathology report said. So I had 6 1/2 weeks of radiation and temodar. Then I took temodar from January 2010 through June 2010. I had no side effects from the temodar, but did have some hair loss from the radiation. Stable MRIs until May 2011 when it showed the cancer was growing slowly again and there was a spot of fast growing tumor cells. I started a vegan (whole foods, plant based) diet in early June. The MRI 3 months later showed no growth and no enhanced spot! All MRIs through April 2013 have shown no growth or enhancement! :)
