Glioma (Grade II) or Anaplastic Astrocytoma   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #32 of 67 |
Hi

Brain Tumor was detected for my Dad a Month back. It all started
with him having a seizure which affected his right hand and speech.
Before this he never had any symptoms like headache etc which is
generally associated with brain tumors.

He had a Surgery 1 week back along with the biopsy being done. The
Biopsy report mentions Glioma (Grade II) or Anaplastic Astrocytoma.

Any help with information on this kind of tumor and the best
treatment for the same will be appreciated.

Dad is recovering and still has speech and right hand movement
problems. What are the chances for full recovery and what is the
life expectancy for such cases.

Looking forward to any useful information.

Thanks

Krishna
