Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about your son. There is a lot to look forward to, as dark as things may seem now, there may light. My husband has the same diagnosis grade III, 3.8 centimeters left frontal lobe. He had symptoms that I now know were indications of a brain tumor. We weren't able to convince the neurologist or IM of his symptoms.He was diagnosed with a left front lobe stroke, symptoms are the same only no pain with a stroke. This was 2004! Memorial weekend 2007 his behavior very odd and memory loss was at a peak. This behavior thing had been going on for at least 5 years, only worse now. At times I felt I was living with a stranger and even afraid at times. Apparently his MRI were misread in 2004 and 2005. Not sure if he had one in2006, 2007,May 30 he was diagnosed because I called our family Dr that was now seeing him and he ordered the Mri. Two days later we were n the surgeons office. We were told this type tumor had to grow for years to get this size, that it is a slow growing type tumor. We were told this after the biopsy and it was determined lwhich glio it was. That was a long 2 week wait. Biopsy was June 12th and he worked June 11th. Drs. said the fact he was able to maintain and work all way to day before biopsy was good. June 25 the tumor was removed and replaced with 8 chemo glidel wafers that slow release. June 30 he cme home with little pain from surgery and has been pain free since. approx 2 weeks giving time for incision to heal, radiation (33) along with temador. He did great, tired but otherwise good. He has had an MRI appro x every 5 mos. , all good. Last one about week ago, results were improved since one in. April. They took him off temador also. Personally I feel a well balanced diet, attitude, support and a good set of doctors is very important. Also contact National brain tumor Foundation learn all you can and don't be afraid to ask questions. Remember,you have choices and personally I make some of our medical decisions instead of letting the doctors choose what they want to do. Research. Mayo Clinic or some reputable web site. We could have taken our treatments in our home townn, but we opted for a center 2 hrs away and came home on weekends. Be sure to contact American Cancer Society for literature. What grade tumor does your son have? Good luck to you and I hope I have been helpful. I almost forgot, he returned to work fulltime mid Oct. He is a ma intenance supervisor of a factory almost 40 years. He can remember! He has slight brain damage resulting in slower thought process, short term memory not as good, a lot of things most people wouldn't notice. I just thank god he can see, hear walk, tlk,etc. I try to live each day to the fullest as though there is no tomorrow. People without cancer are not promised any tomorrows! My husband said some may say "why me?" He said "why not me?" Hope this is readable computer problem, cursor jumps into other sentences. Sorry
