Re: Brain Tumor - Astrocytoma

This is the tumor that killed my younger granddaughter when she was 10-1.2. She'd be 19 this coming June. My heart goes out to anyone dealing with this. Her family suffered terribly after she died.

Re: Brain Tumor - Astrocytoma

There are grades of astrocytoma. It is slow-growing and he has had this for some time. I have know 2 who had this. A lot depends on where it is as far as surgery goes. Many new treatments are available and hopefully they will find one he responds to. I am VERY sorry!

Re: Brain Tumor - Astrocytoma

Update - I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time - no excuse other than not enough hours in a day. Not much new....except that my son has been very sick from the chemo/radiation. It kills me to see him so sick. He used to be such a strong, healthy guy. Thank you for your continued support & prayers. God bless you!
