Now that my status has changed from visitor to resident on the recurrence forum, I'd like to share an excerpt from a folksinger with brain tumor who not only survived but went 12 yrs before his recurrence

[quote]So the news ain't exactly what I hoped for
You could almost say the news is bad
At first it kinda took my breath away
Then, I must admit it made me sad
I should not have been surprised; this shoulda happened long ago
But it's easy to get comfortable with what you don't want to know

It's GBM" they said --like what I had at first
Of all the things I feared, this one was the worst
"You beat it once, you will again -- we have better weapons now!
I swear to you I believe it's true I just am not sure how
I guess the hard thing is fighting a war you thought you'd won
Only to discover that the battle's just begun[/quote]

A good friend sent me those last night with a link to the website for the rest of these and other lyrics.
I haven't listened to any of them but thought I'd share
