Just curious, but it seems there is an epidemic of Brain Tumor's in young people in the United Stated. My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed in 2005 with
Oligodendroglioma stage 2. It has returned and she is scheduled for surgury this month. I'm intrested how many people have brain tumors and where they live. Her Oncologist said there was a rash of brain tumors in Children in Upper middle of Ohio recently. We are from Ohio on the East side of the state. Good luck everyone and please let me know. Im also curious if anyone has been exposed to pesticides and radiation or lives by a freeway that sprays or grew up around one,
