Question
50 yr old male with asatrocytoma grade 2. Had portion of it removed last fall. Did chemo and radiation. Still on Temodar 5 days per month. Latest mrt shows something the Dr. is concerned with. It looks like a leak on the mri. Dr. is checking for damage from the radiation or possibly the tumor is trying to regenerate. Dr's all around are surprised at how well I'm doing. Feeling good, no aches or pains. Tumor currently 5.6cm x 6.2 cm. He also mentioned a possibility of scar tissue. And need to be here for a minimum of 5 yrs for son's graduation. Give me an idea if you thing i have a chance for that
To be able to answer this well I do need to read the full latest brain MRI report! You can copy it here.
