Grade 3 oligodendroglioma: Radiation therapy vs. Voranigo
Hello, everyone.
My sister was recently diagnosed with a grade 3 oligodendroglioma. She has already had surgery to remove the tumor, and she is now about to start chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
However, my mom is really worried about the potential long-term effects of radiation therapy on my sister’s brain. We have heard that, in some cases, radiation can cause cognitive decline over time and may even affect a person’s ability to work.
Because of this, we are currently looking into other treatment options, including Voranigo (vorasidenib).
If you or someone you know has had radiation therapy for oligodendroglioma, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.
How did radiation therapy affect you in the short term and long term? Were there any cognitive or other side effects? And if you have experience with Voranigo, how has that been?
I’m sorry if I’m asking something that may seem obvious. We are still learning about all of this, and any experiences or advice would mean a lot to us.
Thank you so much.
