About Me
Wife, mother of three, instructor at a Vocational College teaching Anatomy, Terminology, Peak Performance. and an esthetician. I am 39 and was diagnosed with oligodendroglioma one year ago. I am trying to stay optimistic but suffer from episodes of depression. I have only a couple of friends that live long distance so stay lonely at times. I am looking for those who want to have online friendships, someone to vent to or they can vent to me. Want to start the new year on a positive note and so happy to have found this website.

Hug
Thanks for the hug. I have been here in the great Palm Springs area for about 5 years. The summers are rough -- but I kind of like them as it is a little less crowded that time of year. Hugs, Barbara

I am hoping you can advice me. My husband had this 3rd radiation and temador today in Phila. He seems fine other than tired and worried, He is very positive. I am heartsick because I have to leave him monday for 9 days. My daughter, who is 29, is having surgery at MD Anderson in Houston to remove a pituitary tumor that is causing her hormone issues for the last year. She finally got a Dr. to do something so this has been scheduled I need to be with her but am so afraid that something will happen to my husband during his 2nd. week of radiation and chemo that I won't be here for him. He has a ride for the 2 hour trip from NJ to Phila and friend around to look in after him but I cant get this sick feeling out of my stomach. I don't have a choice because I need to be with my daughter and fly home with her 5 days after surgery the earliest she can fly. I know you have been through radiation and chemo I guess. He has 5 different beams during radiation.

Ray of Sunshine
A ray of sunshine from the CA desert. My husband recently passed from advanced, stage 4, lunh cancer that had traveled to his brain. I am 100% certain that your form is totally different. And, I am certain, you want to hear from other patients who still have hope. However, I want you to know that there are a lot of us pulling for you! God bless and hugs!

Close Brain / CNS Tumors
Type: OligodendrogliomaI was diagnosed with oliodendroglioma one year ago. I was overdosed on Decadron during my radiation. I just want to talk. I finally got my life back it seems (for the moment)I think I have alot of anger towards Dr. due to negligence and I feel stuck in the HMO situation.
Treatments
- Radiotherapy Working / Worked
- If I could rememember anything regarding the radiation, I could share that. Because I was so drugged up on steroids, I lost one year of my life.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was diagnosed with cancer 1 year ago. This is obviously depressing. I have had depression on and off though my entire life.
Treatments

- I use this method when I am doing testing for my Cancer of am just completely overwelmed. If I can find a quiet spot in my house (i finally found the bathroom floor)
- Paxil Somewhat Helpful
- gained weight but my mood was good. Let the weight get the best of me and stopped.
