I'm very sad to add to this posting that my wife Nancy Irene Yanosko passed away November 24, 2012 at home at the age of 59 1/2, Ironically she survived the anaplastic astrocytoma, but ended up with a gleoblastoma that was unoperable. I was lucky enough to be by her side. We chose to go the hospice route so we stayed in our home. Nancy actually stayed with me in our bed until I watched her last breath. I will always love Nancy for her strenght, her determination, and love of God. She was at peace having seen Jesus a few times before passing. I asked her 10 days before passing why she no longer read her bible and she responded "I don't need it anymore I am in different place now" She knew her future path and accepted it with an open heart and love for all around her.
Nancy I will Love you Forever

Hi Mate. I am 29 and was diagnosed with brain tumor grade 2-3 where less then 20 % was anaplastic astrocytoma. In January I had operation where they removed all of the tumor. I just finished 6 weeks of radiotherapy. I had tumor at the same part of the brain as yours. I am goingto have checkups every 6 months. Just writing to you to wish you all the best and to ask how you getting on ?

I was diagnosed with this same tumor January of 2012. I immediately was sent to the ER, put on steroids and 2 days later had brain surgery to remove part of the tumor. Mine was an infiltrating tumor (finger like parts) so they surgeon was not able to remove all the tumor. I underwent radiation and chemo for 6 weeks and then continued maintenance chemo for an additional year. 5 days every 28 days. I just finished my treatment a month ago and am waiting for my followup MRI in 2 weeks. As long as I stay stable I'll only need to continue MRI's. I did begin to have seizures once on radiation, but with proper medication, those have stopped. Good luck to you.
