Hello everyone I’m new here and I would like to ask for some stories and information about treatment . I will start on 5th of July PCV treatment but I’m not sure what to expect from this. I have debking in July 2020 and now last scan shows that are 2 small dots on enhancement and oncologist is not sure if is new tumor or if is necrosis from radiotherapy that I have finished in February but on
rch scan nothing was show up only that enhancement started to shrink. I don’t know what to do and I’m bit worried about this PCV because I am also on antiseizures meds. Thank you everyone and GOD HE
US!!!
Hello Septi
Welcome to the online community. I hope that you find it as supportive and informative as I have done. I am sorry to hear about your journey so far with your astrocytoma. It is natural to feel nervous and have questions when you are about to start a new treatment- anyone would.
I have found a bit of information on PCV which may help. I will pop a link below.

The online community is divided into cancer experiences and cancer types. I will put a link below for the Brain Cancer forum where you will hopefully find support from others with a similar diagnosis.

I hope that this may help a bit, I wish you well with your treatment and if there is anything else you need, please just ask
