Surgery For Benign Brain Tumor Posted: 07-23-07 02:26am
Hi Everyone
Long story short I was diagnosed with lung
cancer and some metastasis in my brain.
There is one in my occipital lobe quite
big and the doctors are removing it next
Wednesday, as the swelling etc may cause
seisures or worse if it isn't removed.
Fine, good, get it out of
there....but....
Has anyone else had this surgery to remove
a benign brain tumor? Physical surgery
that is... cutting, removing a peice of
skull and cutting the tumor out?? Oh don't
I wish they could use the gamma knife
procedure!
Just wondering how bad it is afterwards
and what to expect, should I get through
the surgery ok?
The meds they have me on to prevent
seizures, and the steroids for the
swelling are making me feel awful,
physically & mentally, so hoping these
aren't something I'll need forever, but
I'll do what I must. Just wondering about
having something removed from my
head...kind of scary stuff you know?
Thank You
Hellas

My Sister had a brain tumor that was
malignant (but not on her occipal region)
and one in her neck. In her case she was
told to go home and die as the surgury had
a 99% chance to leave her in a vegetive
state.
She was given 6 months, and even the
doctor admitted that chemo and
radiotherapy were not going to help her.
She is a naturopath, im a nutritionist and
a natural therapist. So she decided to
use natural therapies to destroy both of
her tumors.
It took 8 months but she went from having
frequent seizures, blackouts and fainting
to being totally healed. Within a month
or two her headaches stopped, then the
seizers, then she went and got scanned and
she had NO (not one bit) of a tumor left
in her neck or brain.
We Did:
fever baths (increases the white blood
cell count so it fights the tumor)
castor oil poultices over her tumor
(dissolves and shrinks it)
juiced fresh green huices everyday
including green barley/cabbage etc
used selenium drops, mineral and vitamins
cut out ALL sugar (including fruit) as it
feeds tumors
had her on a candida type diet
(nuts/grains/vitamins/vegetables/plant
protein)
Drank lots of water everyday
exercised every second day
Eliminated stress from her lifestyle
stopped using mobile phone (this, and
stress was the cause)
and prayed alot
Anyway, since this she has been cancer
free for 3 years and the doctors can't
believe it. We are nearly finished a book
that we are writing on how to kill cancer
naturally. This protocol we have given to
many other people and 5 of them that have
followed it strickly have all been
healed.
We look at eliminating the CAUSE,
increasing the IMMUNE SYSTEM and detoxing
and treating the tumor
If you would like any advice
let me know
Good luck with which ever you you decide
to go:)

I've been butchered.. Posted: 01-16-08 07:35am
hey,
I've gone through 3 tumor debulking
surgeries since '03.
It's not much fun. The time between
'count backwards from 100..' to waking up
feels like 30 seconds, even if it's been 8
hours. And then it hurts. The part that
hurts is where your skull is sawed open
(pain like a broken bone) - but no
worries, they have good drugs against
that. For me the worst parts were
a) being so thirsty after waking but
vomiting everything back out - but this
passes in several hours
b) feeling like somebody just waxed my
meninges (the skin between skull and
brain) - it burns for a few hours. If
you've ever had a body part waxed, you
know what I mean.
c) short term memory out of whack (I kept
forgetting which room/station I was on,
and wandered around without a clue but the
nurses are prepared for that)
d) accepting that it will take a while for
things to get back to normal
e) sleeping problems...insomnia can
sometimes be a problem after brain
surgery.
I've not had an awake op, so I can't give
you any eperiences on that.
Good luck man, keep in touch her and let
us all know how it went, k?
