I just wanted to let everyone know that I first was diagnosed with Brain Tumor in 1999. At that point I was given radiation and a Chemo drug. My Tumor was considered a mixed glioma (Olyodendraglioma and Astrocytoma) and little did I know the Chemo drug only worked for one of the above types of glioma. My Tumor re-occured in 1992 and I was placed on another drug called Temador and I am happy to say I have been cancer free for 4 years now. (YEA!) |
