My friend was diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma in the fall of 2003. She underwent surgery and a year of chemo. When the year was over, she celebrated by coming to visit me. She was fine.

Board to discuss when someone has died?
Hi, these boards seem to be about posting for people dealing with cancer and survivors. My mother passed away (I'm 28), and I'd like to find somewhere to go to discuss this with other people who may have gone through the similar thing. Please email at kulabo2000@yahoo.com if you have any suggestions.
