Thanks for stopping by and helping others with your comments and your own experiences. It really helps others that are going through it.

Thanks for your kind words and your offer for support. I am sure I will be asking questions once my treatments start

Hi Patti,

Glad you joined us here on WhatNext. I am an 18+ year survivor of a Grade III Oligoastrocytoma. I would love to talk with you privately. Please feel free to contact me anytime.

Regards,
Johanna

Pattip123, I had malignant Melanoma on my scalp removed about 20 years ago. Apparently it metastasized to my brain about three years ago, removed and had radiation only.. My question to you is: What is Adjuvant therapy? Good luck and stay positive.

Hello,
I am an oncology/end of life nurse. Welcome to the "What Next" family. If you should have any questions or concerns that you feel I might be able to help you with, please do not hesitate to ask. There are many excellent people here always willing to help in any way with the latest information or experiences to share. You are among friends….there are no strangers here. I hope you find all the information and support you seek, Carm RN.

Patti: Thank you for posting. My husband was diagnosed June 22 after a seizure. He had a tumor removed from the left frontal lobe and still has a tumor in the center and on the right. Had chemo and radiation and is now on chemo regiment. He has expressive speech aphasia, memory problems, balance issues and general cognitive challenges. He is 60. It is interesting to note that you have had this condition for fourteen years because he has a very short prognosis...one to two years. Have you been sick all this time or have you been able to go back to a normal life. What deficits do you have? I am sending you positive thoughts and hugs as you go through this new treatment and hope that it is the last one you will have to undergo. Good luck to you and thank you for bringing us hope.
