My mother has brain cancer, and I was wondering what the average life expectancy is. The tumor she had before was in an unoperable area, and they cannot opperate. They are going to try using chemo therapy, they've used radiation once before to shrink the tumor. Back then they mistakenly said that it was benign, though it was malignant the entire time.

anyone have any kinds of statistics about it, or anybody who knows a bit more about have an idea of how much time...?
I know it's not something that you can just say, but if you have an idea...

Last May, a cardiologist (not my regular one) thought by seeing some scans that I might have an dilated ascending aortic valve, so he put me on Beta Blockers immediately. Then, in August, 3 months later, I saw my regular one and he said that I didn't - he looked at the same scans. He said that Beta Blockers were most effective in people with Marfan Syndrome (which I don't have), so he took me off of them immediately. For the past few months, I've felt something in my chest and seen him about it, but he said everything's fine.

Are these just normal symptoms for being removed off of Beta Blockers?

I'm a teenaged girl, before anybody goes asking my age, etc. And again, I HAVE SEEN MY CARDIOLOGIST.

I now have skipped heart beats, palpitations and I feel like I will faint when I am in severe pain. My teeth chatter and I shake. I just learned I have a L4-L5 disc herniation with a tear and low grade stenosis that abuts the L5 nerve root. (reading my MRI results) My back was stuck bent over for 12 hrs 2 months ago. When I clicked back, I went back crooked! Levoscoliosis. I am on heavy duty pain meds (and I still hurt?) I just resigned my position at the fortune 500 company I just started with. I feel I became an agent for nothing. I am starting to get snippy with my family (not like me at all) and I didn't get answers from my doctors. just, here's your perscription. What hapens next? On top of all that I will be loosing my health insurance. AAAAAH. Any helpful sugestions?
