More info than I want?

Today I got a copy of the letter that Andy's sent to the Radiotherapist with regards to my radiotherapy. It has a number of words/phrases in it that I'm not greatly comfortable with. Apparently my tumour "now involves a large part of the limbic system on the right side and also the basal left frontal lobe." So - I think that means that I shall be talking more bollocks than usual and won't remember it. The biopsy has "demonstrated that I have an infiltrating grade 2 Astrocytoma". I don't think that's as bad as it sounds from the Googling that I've done, but it still sounds quite intimidating I think.

Grade 2 is at the better end of the spectrum...
