Hi Fatisweet,

I was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma in May 2010, so it is possible to live beyond the normal prognosis.

I appreciate that it is a difficult time for you and your fiancé at the moment. Has he started his treatment yet?

There are a number of things you can do the help fight off the consequences of having a brain tumour.

1. Cut out all unnecessary sugar - sugar feeds tumours. Also cut out alcohol, I know some people decide to 'hit it' after diagnosis, but that is the wrong path to follow.

2. Eat a healthy diet of fresh food e.g. meat, fish, veg, and fruit, you can find more information about diets on the Brain Tumour Charity website.

3. Include the following in your finance's diet: blueberries, pecan nuts and turmeric, these have anti-cancer properties.

4. Take food supplements to boost his immune system, especially during treatment. I use Higher Natures Immune+ and Complete Omega's (which are good for the brain).

5. I would also recommend drinking ozonated water, which has extra oxygen in it; oxygen kills cancer cells. I use a Sota Water Ozonator, which you can buy on-line and have been drinking ozonated water since May 2010.

6. I have also been including drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, in my ozonated water since 2010. Google 'The Truth About Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide', which is an American document, but the one I used to make my decision to use it, after it was recommended by a dear friend, who is an ex-chemist.

Stop reading things up on the internet about survival rates and what has happened to other people with the same diagnosis. This is a waste of energy and time; concentrate on your own lives. Take each day, one at a time, and one step at a time. Try not to worry about the future and cross any bridges, you need to cross, when you reach them. This will help you to conserve energy and try to laugh as much as possible.

Your fiancé should rest when his body tells him to, and he should not try to push himself too hard to get back to where he was before his illness. Healing and recovery does take time; the first year should be spent doing this, resting, relaxing, having days out, breaks, when you can to rest and relax. It does take time for the body and brain to heal itself. In the mean time your fiancé.

I decided very early before my operation, that it was important to keep the brain working, so I continued to read, do crossword puzzle's, listen to music and go for short walks in the hospital for a bit of exercise before and after the operation. When I had trouble sleeping due to the steroids, I played the pre-installed game on my mobile phone, on silent during the night.

It is important that you both develop a positive outlook on life and concentrate on what you want to do in the future. That is what I and my wife did - one of the first things we did after my operation, was to sort out our wedding, which we had in November 2010. It only took us 4 weeks to organise, with the support of some wonderful people, who made an extra effort due to our circumstances.

I believe it is important to view what has happened as an opportunity to review your lives together and decide which route you would now like to take. I viewed it as being at a cross roads, where anything was possible and we both believed in a long a happy life together, for a long time to come in 2010.

Believe that you can both get through this together and it is possible to live beyond a negative prognosis.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions, please just leave a post and I will reply.

Best wishes to you both; stay safe and well.

Hello, my fiancé has just been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumour, he has had an operation but unfortunately they couldn’t remove it all. He’s nearly finished his 6 weeks course of radiotherapy, was on chemotherapy tablets too but he’s had to come off them due to them causing trouble to his liver. I’m so worried and don’t no how long he will have left to live I’m petrified 💔💔

Hi, it is not unusual for the whole of the tumour to not be removed, it was the same for me, first time. They do try to take out as much as possible.I was diagnosed with my grade 4 glio in May 2010, so it is possible to live beyond a prognosis.

You must believe that both of you can get through this and what is to come, by being positive and concentrating on living your lives together, for however long that may be.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes to you both; stay safe and well.
