Sorry that you had to return--I hope the best for you and your circle---I have one member of my family that isn't in my circle--so I wish the best for you and whomever is part of your support group. I hope that we enlarge your circle of support. I couldn't post this on the question--Good Luck

YESSS--I thought I was the bad guy for letting my anger show in an instant. I was dx with brain tumor in may.. seems like im mad all time.

Mark my friend, I hope you are well. With brain tumors interestingly, the number 1 reason for seizures is scar tissue and not the disease. Scar tissue accumulates from surgeries or radiation and then interferes with the communication between synapses. Exercising should not make a difference. However, not knowing what meds you are on might be a determining factor. Working out while on opioids or anti-epileptics is never a great idea so you might want to check with your doctor first. Best of luck and I hope you can do what you desire to do. I think it is great that you want to keep in top physical condition, Carm.

You asked a question about others who have radiation past 5 yrs.I had it in 1982. You can go to my profile and read my story and experience if you are interested. Carol

MarktheMan,
You have been on my mind of late and I wanted to drop you a line to see how you are faring. I hope all is well with you and I hope you know that I am here if you have any questions or concerns. All the best to you, Carm RN.

Hey mark, Noticed you were in Indianapolis and fighting the same battle i am. Maybe we could link up and share some experiences.

MarktheMan, I have noticed by your questions that you have many deep concerns. I am an oncology nurse and I have had experience with these tumors. I am going to send you my private email just in case you should have any questions or concerns that you might not wish to post on the public board. Please feel free to contact me at anytime. Many patients do, Carm RN.
