I am a 25 year old female. I was diagnosed with a primary brain tumor in June 2008 and underwent surgery to remove it. It was the size of an apple and diagnosed a grade 2 tumor. It grew back in September 2008 and that's when i began rigorous radiation and oral chemotherapy (Temozolomide). My recent MRI has showed the regrowth of the tumor to be "gone." The plan is to take the Temozolomide for 2 years along with Accutane (which helps the oral chemotherapy work better).
s brain tumor (diagnosed oligodendroglioma grade 2 at age 55 in 2006). The last MRI report says heterogeneously enhancing lesion within the left insula, ...slight increase in T2/FLAIR signal abnormality concistent with vasogenic edema now with extension into the mid frontal gyrus and effacing the adjacent sulcus. Could you explain what this means and tell me where the lopcation is, possibly direct me to a diagram that will show me more?
I had brain surgery in July 2015 to remove an oligodendroglioma from my right frontal lobe, I had been told that it was inoperable because of both the position and the fact that it had already spread. I found an amazing Doctor in a medical centre near Milan in Italy called Humanitas. The Doctor's name is Lorenzo Bello. He is amazing as a person and as a surgeon.. My inoperable tumour was removed 100% and I have full use in my left side.
Could someone give me a layman's explanation of these measurements--
1.8 TR x 2.2 cc x 1.7 ap cm.? We have never see the TR or ap cm. used in the mri
report before for total size of the mass. Also, could someone explain the
following MRI report in plain english for me?

Brain: Again noted is the heterogeneously enhancing mass in the left frontal
lobe which measures approximately 18x 20 x 23 mm.
My mother had a brain tumor(Oligodendroglioma-anaplastic) in her temporal lobe and had totaly different symptoms and I dont have any symptoms of brain tumors listed on the net(no headaches, no loss of peripheral vision..)
I have severe anxiety with depression. Im not on any medication yet. I can get other anxiety symptoms like chest pain, palpatations, frequent urination...once i thaught i have diabetes type 1 and got all the symptoms and all came back negative the tests.
My grandpa has undergone a brain tumor removal surgery 3 weeks ago and we got the histopathology results reading that they're not 100% sure and it is either a grade 3 anaplastic oligodendroglioma or glioblastoma and further genetic testing is needed. In the meantime however, they told him that after being discharged from the hospital, he's supposed to take 2mg Dexamethasone for three days, then 1mg for three days and then stop taking it.
A 59-year-old man with history of left frontal lobe grade 2 oligodendroglioma, status post total resection in 05/2007. The patient underwent radiation therapy in 2007 with subsequent recurrence. The patient has been undergoing chemotherapy with Avastin, which was discontinued in 12/2010. The patient has also undergone treatment with Temodar. Now with worsening dysphagia and speech impediment.
