Hi Spammy, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Anaphlastic Astrocytoma in 2002. I was not a candidate for surgery or radiation because of the extent of it and the location. I was in a clinical trial of Temodar. They told me it is not a matter of if it grows but when because this type of tumor always evolves into higher grade tumor. That has been 15 years ago now and it is stable. It has become less dense and smaller. I have some side effects of the chemo like headaches etc but otherwise doing well and working full time. You can do well too! Just keep a positive attitude! Good luck!
