I have a malignant glioma on rt side of brain. Removed most surgically,followed by radiation & oral chemo.?

Now cyst where tumor was is getting larger.Doctor stopping chemo in June and see what happens. Any hope for me?
Answer:
Yes there is hope. Watch out for neurological symptoms (changes in vision and speech, weakness or numbness - especially on 1 side) Only take anti-epileptic medications if you do develop seizures, there's no evidence they need to be taken profilactically. If you feel depressed, tell your doctor to have it addressed - untreated depression worsens the outcomes. There's no need to add mental suffering to the physical. Always have you medical infromation with you when you go places.
Good luck!
Yes their is always hope.
