Hi @fgreg23. Astrocytoma symptoms will differ based on the tumor's location. An astrocytoma in the brain can cause seizures, as well as personality changes, headaches and nausea.
Yes the seizure triggered the finding. Grade 2 astrocytoma. Docs feel real confident about it. I'm on my ninth treatment. I'm 46 yrs old and are saying I should be fine luckily. But the seizure thing sucks.
anyone can shed some lightfor me

I'm tagging fellow members who also have an astrocytoma and can share their experiences, like @jessetimmer @andlin @dkubacki @wwooden @joesimmons @tumors @alhayes1976 @trishaitheisen @shell68 @workinprogress and others.
Greg, did seizures lead to your being diagnosed with astorcytoma? Are you getting treatment?

Did you have surgery to remove the tumor?
