I've seen the brain tumor story beginning to end quite recently. My father-in-law went through it beginning to end in a year. He had a much less curable Astrocytoma stage 3. It was in the very center of his brain. Radiation only destroyed him. Chemo wouldn't touch it. For years before he was diagnosed he had very strange behavior. One day he ran his van into my garage while I was working in it. He came in the door and didn't say a word about it. Often, he wouldn't remember things he did just weeks or days before.
John,
Rather than apologize for every time I found that your posts were way 'out-there', I will hope and pray for your recovery. Check into gene therapy. It was just in testing two years ago when it was too late to save Dad.
