We are still waiting on the official word from my brother's biopsy.  His dr is trying to get a 3rd opinion as to how it should be graded.  His original tumors are grade 2 and she is torn between grade 2 and 3 for this new one.  The reason it is important is because it will detemine which treatment route he'll take.  She is also taking his case to the neuro-oncologist board meeting this week and will ask opinions there.  He's supposed to hear back tomorrow (Friday).

His tumors have been "controversial" since the get-go.  When his oncologist went on a leave to europe for a convention she brought his case with her to get international opinions...famous tumors...lol.  I guess they aren't behaving as expected so it's hard to grade them.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers...I'll update again when I know more.

Jeez...what can be worse than having to wait for that kind of news??  I hope he's keeping a postive view on life - actually, I'm sure he is, after reading that newspaper article!  I hope he does find out tomorrow.  Anything is better than uncertainty.  (((hugs))) to all of you...

Your brother and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers Sarah. We all know him a little better now since the article, we know what sort of person he is and how much support he has from your family.

Hugs,

Elaine

Oh Sarah what a worry. I don't think I'd like "controversial" tumours! {{{hugs}}} & prayers ....
