    Hey, that is great! 

    I was diagnosed 6 years ago with a grade II oligodendroglioma.  Since my diagnosis and surgery I have completed a marathon, competed in many triathlons, running events and road cycling events, and last summer rode a century (100 miles) in an afternoon with my 14 year old son.  Anything is possible!  Don't let the diagnosis stand in the way of you dreams!

    Thank you for this inspiration!

    It gives me hope for my mother.

    Question for you

    Hi Librarymom- I was just wondering about how your surgery went and if you had any treatment beyond your surgery.  I had a grade II oligo in the left frontal lobe removed in Jan of this year that was 100% resected.  I am debating as to weather I should go on and do the chemo (temodar) now or just watch and wait.  I wonder if Temodar will do any good against Microscopic cells that may be left behind or not?

    Oligo2013 - your diagnosis

    Oligo2013 - your diagnosis and results sounds the same as me, expect mine is Grade 3. I am moving forward with the chemo for six months than radiation treatment. I didn't feel conformable doing nothing and neither did my Doctors.
