A little more understanding

Sometimes I think I should surgically remove Google from my system so I don't look things up. Actually, no, that's what my wife thinks. I prefer to at least know what questions to ask. Anyway, after that letter last week and all the nasty-sounding things in it I emailed Andy to ask whether it was as bad as it sounds. Well, the good news is that it's not as bad. A low-grade glioma tends to distribute itself a lot through healthy cells, which means that it is very dangerous/difficult to attempt to remove surgically, but while it remains low-grade, this is not a big problem. And this is why radiotherapy is the best treatment.

I feel better now I understand this!
