Hi all. Just thought I would say hello. I’m from Edinburgh, Scotland and have a grade 2 oligodendroglioma. I had surgery nearly 2yrs ago. My surgeon was great but I still have some tumour left in my brain. I have a lot of cognitive issues, head pain and memory loss but I’m still here. 

All the best.

  • I’m glad you’re staying positive. And I’m having the same confusing time. Mixing word, missing words writing; on and on and on. I have 40% left GD3. Be strong and think good things and have a safe journey
