Hello everybody,

Well people got some bad news to report, heard monday that my tumors are back... again!
I've been in and out of the hospital for treatment since I was sixteen, undergone spinal surgery, several different chemotherapies and radiation therapies. The damn things keeps popping back every year!

In two weeks I am going to hear the treatment plan, luckely the tumor grows very slowely according to the MRI scans - millimeters. Location is more tricky... it's close to the brainstem.

Well, keeping spirits up. Hope I survive long enough to do the things I want to do in life.

Cheerfully (No matter the situation),
Wallourdes

Have you tried searching for clinical studies? (If you are willing to be a "guinea pig", you could get access to an effective treatment long before it would be available on the market.)

I'm sorry, I know you did not ask for advice. I hope the tumors will be vanquished this time.

Being a guinea pig already, got chemo for other types of tumors because the conventional treatment didn't seem to work anymore.

No offence taken by the advice, in short time I might need all I can get - depending on results in two weeks.

Well, jeez, that sucks. Let's hope the doctors have got their thinking caps on. I think it's fascinating, personally, but I wish it didn't actually happen to real people. If that made any sense...
