 Hi M.Z.AL QUDAH,
It would have been very helpful if you had included the following details.
- when was the diagnosis made?
- since when you have been symptomatic and what are your symptoms?
- MRI features of the tumor,
- did the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology show tumor seeding?
- when were the biopsy and third ventriculostomy performed?
- what was the exact histologic type?
- what kind of management you went through ( radiotherapy/chemotherapy)?, and
- what has been the response to the treatment? (tumor size, your symptoms etc).
Without these details, i am afraid, i can not answer your question adequately.
Best wishes!
