Are low grade fevers, nightsweats, hot flashes, and opthalmic migraines a sign of GBM when nothing else has been diagnosed. Would only GBM be associated with low grade fever or any kind of tumor?
• Since my father (54 years old) has been diagnosed a low-grade astrocytoma, grade I, I have been searching everywhere for an answer to my question. All I know is that a low-grade astrocytoma, grade I, gives you a survival chance of 10-15 years (he had surgery, but nothing was removed due to the characteristics and location of the tumor; right side, end of frontal lobe going back towards the part that controls your movements on the left-hand side). At this point in time, he is being treated for his focal epilepsy caused by the tumor and he is recovering really well although he became rather slow in everything. No chemo or radiation at this point in time. Can/may I hope for a proper treatment in the forthcoming 10 years or do you think this will be difficult. I just ask an opinion as a desperate daughter. I have spent hours and hours reading about everything on Taxol, Temozolomide, BCNU, etc., but I am a secretary and I don’t understand all these medical terms. If you could just tell me
