Has anyone else with IDH-mutant diffuse astrocytoma, grade 2?

What a story, Jesse. And a new baby girl is such a blessing to live for and inspire you to keep going. She is almost 3 now. Your wife is nothing short of amazing. I simply cannot imagine the depths of inner-strength she must've had to tap into to get her family (and herself) through this with you.
It's not everyone who can work through all those treatments. Did you experience fatigue that required your employer to make accommodations for you? You may wish to add to this discussion:

I am just diagnosed with this myself, I would love to talk with anyone going through any part of the process?
I am weighing going with any removal as the tumor is located in the left side motor control. I would most likely lose all function of the dominant hand and possible arm. The F-MRI show it there and the biopsy caused a temporary loss of function in the hand and fingers. 12 days post biopsy I have regained most of the strength and coordination in the hand.
