It has been one year and 7 months since the surgery and Bill continues to improve. I have stayed with him throughout this experience. I don't live with him but I have been helping him and guiding him as best I can.
I think It may be hard for other people to understand the struggles that a person who has had brain surgery go through because on the outside, once their hair has grown over the scars, they look perfectly fine.
Sometimes, I think it is difficult for others to understand that he is still healing from an extremely serious problem that took out part of his "operating system". He is now coming back into his own almost 2 years later but there is still a little further to go. He is getting better and stronger everyday but he is still struggling with some aspects of his recovery perhaps partly because people don't realize what he may be going through.
I think he sometimes doesn't see just how far he has come.

Brian's Story
1. Removal of Brain tumor
2. Post surgically waited 6 weeks for the Decadron taper to be complete. He was still taking 1000mg Keppra daily.
3. A complete Blood panel for Bill which was a complete picture of all of his blood chemistry (this included urinanalysis).
It showed a slight imbalance in his ANA reading but other than that everything appeared to be normal.
4. We purchased a wheatgrass juicer from Bestchoiceproducts.com which can be found on EBay ($54.95) and ordered a pound of wheatgrass to be delivered via FEDEX every other week ($26) www.gourmetgreens.com . We have slowly increased it to 2 oz in AM and 2 lbs of wheatgrass per week (19.00 weekly) (Fresh wheatgrass is the most potent). Dr. Ann Wigmore taught me about the wheatgrass therapy. It is a protocol which I used when I had cancer in 1988 and it seemed to really work. If anyone is interested here are some good books which she wrote on the subject. She passed away in a fire about 15 years ago. The books are; "The wheatgrass therapy" and "Be your own doctor" which does not put down the medical community it talks about our connection to nature. She wrote many books on the subject but those are the 2 we used.
5. He began juicing and drinking ½ oz of wheatgrass every morning. Subsequently, he has discovered that it works best when he takes it at night rather than in the morning with the Keppra.
6. He went to a vegetarian diet including the avoidance of caffeine, refined sugars, and wheat products
7. He began taking intravenous Vitamin C treatments weekly (he is currently taking 200grams per week) along with a regimen of supplemental vitamins
(I can provide a list of their names and quantities if you want)
8, In February 7 months post surgery he began an 8 week taper of the Keppra drug. He is currently taking 250mg every other day. I have attached the taper schedule to this email
9. He began taking vitamin B-17 100mcg in AM and PM he is slowly increasing to 1000mcg. He was of 7/8/08) taking 500mcg daily. .He is currently 1.5 years after surgery taking 100 mg of Keppra daily {1/09 }which he seems to still need.
10 MRI's every 3 months to track progress
11 He began hydro colon therapy in the 9th month post surgery. I felt that it was important to wait for him to get physically stronger before we went after what I believe to be the source of his tumor, impurities caused by a blockage in his colon. He was having symptoms of rectal bleeding and a sensation of "razor blades in his ureter" during urination. After the first colonic his symptoms disappeared and haven't returned. He has done 6 colonics to date and will be doing at 3 more beginning next week. He is taking acidophilus to replace the favorable flora and fauna in the intestines after each colonic

My son who was diagnosed with a grade 3 oligdendron glioma with anaplastic astrocytoma. He had surgery on 7/24/07 which removed 80% of the tumor. He was told that he needed chemo and whole brain radiation immediately. They told us that neither of these treatments could cure his problem but it could potentially extend his life for up to 10 years. We could not accept this answer as the only truth. We decided to use the treatment protocol which I had used in 1989 to cure my uterine cancer. The cancer and residual tumor have disappeared and he is doing well. He is down to 100mg of Keppra daily as opposed to 1000mg.

Brain Tumor Protocol
1. a vegetarian diet including the avoidance of all forms of animal products, caffeine, refined sugars, and wheat products.
a. Diet: no dairy (dairy promotes rapid cell division, which you don't want with cancer cells); no red meat (rots in your colon); no refined sugar (diverts enzymes from the pancreas that are produced specifically to fight abnormal cells); no white flour (turns to sugar); lots of raw, dark green vegetables; fruits and nuts (fruit sugar is OK); 1-2 liters of water per day. For protien I eat lots of soy-based products, drink Odwalla protein drinks and eat sprouts.
2. juice and drink ½ oz of wheatgrass every morning. Subsequently, Brian has discovered that it works best when he takes it at night rather than in the morning with the Keppra (anti seizure medication). Freshly Juiced Wheat Grass - one shot glass full at night. If you can build up to the recommended two shot glasses per day.

PRECAUTIONS: (#1 is from experience, #2 is from research)1. NEVER take Ginko Biloba with Keppra - it will give you symptoms that will make you think you're either going to die or go completely crazy. Seriously. They interact in a truly horrifying way!2. STAY AWAY FROM WHEY PROTEIN - IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO PROMOTE RAPID CELL DIVISION IN THE BRAIN. VERY BAD FOR PEOPLE WITH BRAIN TUMORS!
