Talk:Oligodendroglioma

I'm a bit taken back by this article. I was diagnosed with a level 3 Oligodendroglioma when I a hundred years old. I began having seizures 3 years prior to that day. I never had to undergo any radiation therapy or anything. I never had any recurrence. I am 30 years old at this point. Is the information reported accurate? Why is it so difficult to resect the tumors 100%?
 * Oligodendrogliomas are like white paint in a bucket with red paint - the tumor cells blend diffusely with normal brain tissue, and a surgical resection only allows for total or subtotal removal of what it visually or radiologically visible, leaving behind tumor cells that are "invisible" at the time of surgery. --Lipothymia (talk) 20:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure how you could not have had a surgery yet. I have had two surgies one in Oct 2008 and the other Sept 2009. I know that I would not be the same person if I would not have had the surgery. I could not talk well, my balance was off, my eye lid was dropping and I could not understand what was being said to me. My head off course was always in pain and I was having seizures as well! The info they have listed is right! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.88.198 (talk) 02:28, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

"The average age at diagnosis is 35 years." Is this correct? And the link (https://www.mayoclinic.org/glioma/oligodendrogliomas.html) is not good working. Wname1 (talk) 21:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
