Just had the results of my brain op to be told the tumor is maglignant, and i will need further chemo & rediotharapy to get rid of what's left.
To be honest I'm scared and very frightened in dying and leaving my family, and wondered if anyone could give me some advice on the chances of getting through this nightmare.
I understand they removed 90% of the tumor so it's just the case of killing the rest of it.
Any postive news would be great.
I'm hotmailed up juzsmith@hotmail.com, and have a web cam so the more

I'm sorry for what you are going thru

My 25-year-old sister was diagnosed in March and yes it is quite scary. This board has offered great comfort to me, so please search this forum and read survivor stories. Do not surf the web and look up survival stats. Stats mean nothing as you are in individual person, so go with the belief you can beat any odds because you CAN!! Progress is being made in cancer research every day and you must never give up. Additionally I suggest joining a support group in your area.

Good luck, you and everyone on this board are all in my prayers.
