Confused, shocked, unsure

My Aunt was diagnosed in May 2022 with Stage 4 Glioblastoma. 2 tumors were present. She had a biopsy taken where they discovered another tumor was present within a matter of 2 weeks. Following this she was was told there was no surgery options available as they are too deep. Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy isn't an option either. She was prescribed steroids. As a preventative measure only she was offered Chemotherapy tablets for 5 days once a month only which she has accepted. After 3 months they will scan again and see if there has been any improvement. We are now approaching the 3rd course. Her only symptoms are occasional headaches. Her appetite is really good. Has anybody else had this experience or diagnosis please?

Hi Earthtome,

I was diagnosed with a grade 4 glio in May 2010, and I had a second tumour removed in Feb 2015. Whilst your Aunties tumours are inoperable, there are things she can do to fight the disease, which are:-

i. Change of diet, cut out any unnecessary sugar, which feeds cancer cells, include blueberries, pecan nuts and turmeric spice, which have anti cancer properties. I buy my blueberries from British Frozen Fruits which come in 2kg bags.

ii. Drink ozonated water, which has extra oxygen in it - oxygen kills cancer cells. I have been drinking it since May 2010, also when I was taking my chemo tablets. I use a Sota water ozonator, which is available to buy on-line - there are cheaper versions, but the Sota comes in a travelling case and is portable. I always take it with me when on holidays, etc.

iii. Goggle 'The Truth About Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide', which is an American document; the one I used to make my decision to use it. I have been adding 5 drops of 3% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (multi-purpose) into a 1/2 pint of ozonated water since 2010, which I take 3 times a day. I buy my supply from Bobby's Healthy Shop (South West UK) on-line.

iv. Use food supplements to boost her immune system. I have been using Higher Natures ImmunePlus tablets since 2010, which are designed for this and their Complete Omega tablets which are good for the brain. These can be bought on-line and the company is a UK one.

The most important thing she and your family can do is stay positive and believe that she can get through this. From my experience, I believe it is important to consider, despite the prognosis, your aunt has a life changing opportunity.

She should spend time reflecting on her life and consider herself being at a crossroads, where you are able to go forward in any direction you wish. I know this might seem a bit far fetched at the moment, but it will enable you all to stay positive. My wife and I were always clear that we would still have a long life together ahead of us from the day after I was admitted to hospital. As with any traumatic event you have to have hope and belief in a future to get through it.

I also believe it is important to keep the brain working, so I read, listened to music, did crossword puzzles, played the preloaded game on my mobile phone. I also used jigsaws to help with my spatial skills.

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

Stay safe, well and positive - remember laugher is a great healer, so laugh as often and as much as possible.
