Hi Steph,

I wanted to check in and see how things were going. Also, just to give you a heads up, I noticed you referred to your tumor as a stage 2. I assume you meant a Grade III, as BTs are graded as opposed to being referred to in stages. Grade and stage have very different meanings.

I hope treatment is going ok. I have MRI number 75 coming up on the 16th of June.

Hi. I was diagnosed with a Oligodendroglioma in April and my docs are idiots. They want me to wait until July for a follow up MRI to see if it has grown before we go ahead with any treatment! It's frustrating to say the least! I just wanted to wish you good luck in your journey and to let you know I'm here if you need to talk about anything!

Hi Steph, best of luck to you, I can understand not wanting to wait, to have it done with now. I was just diagnosed with colorectal cancer a two weeks ago and can't wait to get moving. I had my chemo port installed yesterday and go to see the radiologist tmw. Hoping to get started next Monday. I too have an MRI on Friday. I wish you the very best of luck and please feel free to vent whenever you need to! I have found this job isn't for sissies. Lol treat yourself with loving care and let others care too!
