Hi annaplasticMan,

I had a grade 2 glioma in 1992 which recurred as a grade 3 in 2005. You can read my full story by going to the link in my signature block. Currently, other than having to take antiseizure medications and a slight right side weakness, I am doing fine.

What kind of chemo are you on? I took PCV and felt like hell almost for a whole year.

well i am on temidol i believe that is how u spell it I have been on it for like 9 mounths now... the side effects are not as bad as i hear for others so i consider myself lucky but ive done radiation had surgery all that fun stuff and they could only get 1/4 of it not the best of luck but hopefully things start getting better for me and u as well... all thease people in here thats why it seems to be a good website we can acctually relate and talk to people and when they say they understand and compare what they have gone through it makes sence. I know for me when people say i know how u feel oh i have felt that before it just kinda gets to me I know that sounds selfish but maybe you guys have had it happen to you to makes me feel like im sooken

annaplasticMan!!! It is good to hear an update from you! So, you are tollerating the chemotherapy well enough to continue? That is great news! I hope you continue to do well.

It sound like that "ex" is not an "ex" anymore (?) Very Happy Wink
