Although I know you mean well, your mom's glioma really has nothing to do with this girl's. I'm guessing that she's a lot younger than your mom is, and that has a lot to do with the rate of tumor growth. Is your mom's glioma in her spinal cord or her brain?

Tumors can become malignant, even if they are benign at an early stage...especially in younger people.

D, I hope you can continue to do what you need to achieve the best
health you can have.

I did not mean to make this about the glioma . . . and hoped they were wrong, of course. I have heard of mistakes like this with tumors.

However, since the MS dx is not confirmed, and the glioma is a concern, I do think that should be the focus right now. Perhaps it is for Dejibo, but from this posting, it seemed to be less of a concern then continuing on with Copaxone (for a disease she is not sure she even has).

Dejibo, if it was me, I would be focusing my energy on getting to the bottom of the glioma issue. It may very well be not a big concern . . . and you probably know more then what is written here . . . but just as long as you are not letting them blow this off.

If the Copaxone is making you feel terrible, and given the other circumstances, I personally don't see the point in continuing. I think you need to prioritize your energy right now.

I'm sorry if this comes across as negative. It is really meant as genuine concern.
