High grade Glioma - What questions should I ask?

Update to my diagnosis. It's at least a grade three anaplastic astrocytoma type of glioma. I'll be back at Mayo in Phoenix for my CT simulation and MRI and then once they decide on the radiation plan, I'll start the six weeks of oral chemo and radiation treatments. Waiting on insurance to authorize the proton beam treatment. Also, one of the genetic tests on the biopsy specimen came back as having a good affinity towards the oral chemo, so I'm thinking that's a good sign. I'm tired of waiting, want to get this treatment plan started!
