Grade 2 astrocytoma

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with a grade 2 astrocytoma in October 2023 located in my right frontal lobe. The neurosurgeon shared to me he "almost" achieved a gross total resection. I remember the tumor was IDH1 Negative(Non Mutant). Now in my last MRI it was found it is coming back in the same location. I haven't gone through chemotherapy or radiotherapy yet. Most likely another surgery and additional treatment are coming. What is my prognosis? I am scared and worried after my last research on wildtype tumors, I thought I could forget about this nightmare but looks like I am not even gonna survive for as long as I thought. I am 29.
