My sons Doctor called from the V. A. today, Yes on Saturday. He asked if
there had been brain cancer in my family and I told yes, a cousin had had
cancer a few years ago. He said he would like, if I could to get the type
and what course of treatment was followed.
So, I called my cousins Mother and she gave me a name that, was misspelled
and I can't find anything on google with the wrong spelling. Here it is if
anyone can fathom a guess.
Ogliodendromglioma. She spelled it wrong because it won't come up the
several places I have tried. I know you don't grab this sort of thing of
the net as a rule but I am about to implode with not having a clue.

I got a number of hits when I used the name you provided. Here are some:

OVRAW=Oligodendroglioma&OVKEY=oligodendroglioma&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=5186931011
&OVKWID=23946711511
(This side describes it this way: "An oligodendroglioma tumor is a
slow-growing brain tumor that usually occurs in young adults. These tumors
are frequently located within the frontal, temporal or parietal lobes and
cause seizures in a relatively high percentage of patients."

I hope you are not facing something as difficult as this sounds, and I hope
some of these sites are helpful to you.
