Hi @jessetimmer, welcome. I'll be interested to learn more about your brain tumor story. @dgruk @leri @ginette55 all have experience with an astrocytoma, although I'm not sure about the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation being involved in their situations. Hopefully they'll share more.

Jesse, is this a recent diagnosis for you? Have you had surgery?

So the genome analysis has been completed at the university and it is now identified as an Oligodendrogliomas IDH Mutant type WHO grade 2.

I have had a biopsy done for the analysis and identification. But any further resection will remove portions that control the motor pathway for the right (dominate) hand so quality of life would significantly be diminished.

Radiation will start on August 24 and followed with chemo after 30 treatments.
