I was told I would likely spend my life in a wheelchair and today I walk. My advice is to keep looking and researching. Get in touch with some doctors here in the US if you can that specialize in this type of tumor (in the area it is). There are neurosurgeons that are particularly good at resecting tumors in eloquent areas or specific areas of the brain. I don't know a lot about your situation but stand tall and do not give up. Giving up is letting this defeat you. Do everything you can but most of all, have faith and don't give up. :-) Yaremi,

I am the mother of a 13th year old boy that has a Thalamic Anaplastic Astrocytoma. After surgery, radiation and chemo the tumor has returned and now doctors give him no hope. They even told me he has only 3 month. His oncologist told me about the vaccine, but said they only do it in Belgium, so I am so amaize I read there is a possibility here. Do you have any words of advise for me? Thank you so much. Hello Mark, I am so happy to hear this news. I am the mother of a 13th year old boy that has a Thalamic Anaplastic Astrocytoma.

I'm very happy that the article is creating exposure to this disease that is in desperate need of research funding, particulary in light of the current economic climate. There are amazingly intelligent and persistent medical professionals such as Dr. Nora Wu and Dr. Edie Zusman who are working feverishly to battle this disease every day along side many others around the world. With research funding and time, everyone believes we can one day overcome this disease. Thanks again to everyone and to others who are here and have been dx with brain tumors or are touched by this disease, know that I pray for you.
