Hi,
My son (26yr) was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor (oligodendurglioma)
Has anyone ever dealt with this kind of tumor?
Thanks

Hi,

I haven't as of yet but my MRI showed either a brain cyst or tumor. I am still waiting to find out which & I am very scared & very angry that the Dr.'s don't seem to be taking it seriously enough.

Annnyway, not sure if WebMD.com is as good as it used to be, but you used to be able to post questions there & get answers pretty fast. I'm going to be checking them out again myself shortly.

Good luck!
