Hi yes you're right not sure why I though he was 18 - but that is the right Dave - he's out living his life too, making people aware. And Christine is also right about the aggressiveness, for some reason - it seems to be more aggressive in younger people - that's why we suggest doing all you can at first dx. Dave's dr must have been good as he caught a spread to the untreated side (opposite side of his tumor) during radiation and added more treatment to hit that side.

Samantha - god bless her - she was so young. She eventually died from an infection - the drs had been chasing it around her head for two years. They just couldn't get in front of it. They eventually stopped treatment saying her infections (she had fistulas that wouldn't heal) would kill her before the cancer did.

Proactive when dealing with this is far better than reactive. Hugs! So glad you're doing well.
