My son Dino is diagnosed with brain tumor called germinoma, before few months. He went through radiation and now is 1 and 1/2 months after he finished radiation but no improve shows. He is much worse than he start radiation. Is somebody can help me with, to explain me or tell me when I can expect any better. After 3 weeks he had MRI that shows his tumor shrinks 1/2 cm and I can not believe that he doesn't shows any improve.

    radiation
    My husband had a very difficult time recovering from radiation for his brain tumor. It was a good two months before he started to come out of his radiation fog. It was very frightening as I started to think his severe fatigue, confusion and weakness was a permanent condition. But he did recover. Don't give up hope.

    I don't know about this type
    I don't know about this type of tumor but my sister as AA3. The radiation did not shrink her tumor but chemo made it go away and her last 3 MRI's were all clear. Please don't lose hope.
