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

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.

Welcome @andlin. Fellow members @jessetimmer @dgruk @leri @ginette55 know what you're going through and will hopeful return to give support and share their experiences.

Andi, is surgery the only option or might radiation or chemo be options to consider? Are you a Mayo patient, if you don't mind my asking?
