My apologies... I don't know why I mentioned the state and didn't simply say Memphis. As to the rest, I'm not going to argue with you since I was talking from experience, not opinion, and we went through this less than 4 years ago at the Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis (children's hospital and then the adult one). BJH is ranked in the top 10 hospitals in the country, so I doubt their treatment was very different from what most others are likely to offer.
I was deliberately avoiding specifics (such as mentioning steroids), because that is like second guessing whoever is treating the child. I have no pretensions of medical knowledge and no wish to confuse those involved further. I do know however - and the St Judes website confirms this - that glioma is a generic term, therefore you cannot draw many conclusions from its use.
My intent was solely, in the very limited way anyone can, to try to smooth out the emotional roller coaster a little for someone who is affected by this condition.
