High grade glioma-waiting for remainder of molecular testing

Posted by raphaela2025 @raphaela2025, 1 day ago

It hasn't hit me yet. Just found out. I don't know what to do everyday. I'm not working. I can't drive anymore. Thank you for having me in your group.

Welcome. How do you know it's high grade without your complete pathology report? I'm sorry to hear you can no longer drive or work. I suggest finding a hobby to take up some of that time and to keep your mind busy. We can dwell in this disease if we are not careful.

Thank you!

The first pathology report stated that I had a high grade glioma.

The methylation test is important. If positive you may respond to TMZ. A very tolerable chemotherapy option. I have Ben on it five days a month for a year now. Other than occasionally having nausea I find it very tolerable. Did get a rash on my back from it. It was not a systemic allergy and responded well to steroid cream.
