GREY MATTER LIFE 
Correction — diagnosis in Oct 2012. Sorry.
Jen:
I was diagnosed with Gr. 2 astro in October 2011. Surgery in late October at Duke. Surgeon couldn’t get all of it, as some of the tumor is in corpus collectum, or something like that. Temodar daily since early December. I read your blog with great interest and intrigue. Curious what part of your brain your tumor was in, as I — like you — would much prefer the “piece of shit” in my head out. But surgeons I’ve spoken with are very reluctant to operate on that part of my brain.
Thanks in advance for your response.
