Hello ,
My son has being diagnosed with it. His tumor has grown, He is waiting to see the Radiologist. First step seems to be wait and see ,next Radiation and then Operation. It is a rare tumor .I will keep you informed.
My best wishes go out to you .

@alexie1942, I know that the wait and see approach can be unsettling. I prefer to called it active surveillance because it sounds more action-oriented. It is a very common approach with brain tumors. The waiting is tough though.
