hi, we are a mexican family that just a month ago lived the worst experience when my 15 year daughter was diagnosed with an astrocytoma. We got a surgery just after the 24 hrs we knew it (and they took out ALL) and a second surgery 15 days later, in order to locate a brain's valvula. Now, after 35 days from the first surgery, she is doing great, she walks, eats, lives and has her theraphy ok. We don't know yet what kind was it, and though we are expecting the treatment (because it's missing one test) it seems we will defeat it....but after I had read a lot in the net (which I knew could be not good) I'm still waiting a miracle.I just want you to share the idea that we had an excellent surgeon (in mexico) and the power of the faith in our situation. But still I don't know enough who to deal with it. At the end I know she is a miracle because after all, 2 brain's surgeries, 20 pounds lost and a part of her life in this month missing SHE STILL WAKES UP EVERYMORNING.
