I am fighting this from my end with an extremely low carbohydrate healthy ketogenic diet, exercise, and minimising stress.
If anyone has any helpful tips or success stories related to this approach, please comment or send me an email.
AUG 2 2023 - Diagnosed with brain tumor
AUG 4 2023 - Surgery to remove brain tumor
SEP 14 2023 to OCT 30 - Radiotherapy/Chemotherapy
OCT … - 4 weeks without treatment, followed by an MRI
DATE - DATE - Six months of taking a stronger chemotherapy pill five days per month
On August 2nd 2023, after experiencing increasingly severe symptoms, I was diagnosed with a grade 4 astrocytoma brain tumor.
On August 4th I had surgery to remove the tumour. They believe they removed ninety-five percent of it, so I will need chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
For six weeks, from September 14, I will undergo five-days-a-week of precision radiation treatment at the same time as a chemo pill. This will be followed by four weeks of no treatment. Then I will have an MRI, before resuming six months of further treatment. I will be taking a chemo pill for five days each month. This pill will be three times stronger than the one I took during radiation.
I will be documenting the whole thing here, so if you know anyone who might get something out of it, please share my videos.
