Thank you. His tumor is grade iv and he chose not to do treatment. The doctors told him it would only give him a little extra time. So he wants to enjoy what he has left the best he can. Right now he's doing remarkably well. I am 500 miles away from him but we are very close. I stay in touch with him everyday. And visit as often as I can. It is just tearing me apart. It has only been a year since I lost my other brother and 18 months since my dad passed. So I will be the only child left.I'm not dealing with it very well.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Completed my 8th consecutive cycle of Temodar since August 2014. My February 24th MRI showed what looked like tumor progresion so my next MRI this month will determine whether I continue on this drug or return to Avastin.n

Welcome. I am sorry you have to go through this. Know that I am thinking of you and hoping you get the top-notch care you need to get rid of this beast or at least keep it under control.
