Sad :( Aggressive Brain Tumor

I thought I'd post because it puts all in perspective. My stepdad (as much my dad as my own) called tonight and his grandson has an aggressive brain tumor. 18 months old. His surgery last week went okay and he has been recovering well. I guess we all thought that things were going well. Who would have thought that the tumor was a terror??? His prognosis is not good.

Makes food intolerance/immune disorder seem insignificant.

I'm so sorry to hear that Diane. My thoughts are with you all. Yes, it puts everything in perspective & I wish to heck it didn't b/c that would mean no brain tumor.

I am so very sorry.

I have said before we have an gastroenterologist, immunologist, endocrinologist but it isn't an oncologist so really, it's manageable. It truly does put it in perspective for sure.

Yes, it's so true. No matter how awful we may have it some days, it seems someone always has a bigger battle to fight.

So sorry about the little one, hon. I hold your family in my thoughts.

I just lost a dear friend to breast cancer at the young age of 54. But when it's a child!

Oh, when it's a child.

Prayers to you and your family. I am SO sorry!

I am so sorry to hear your news.

Love and light to this child.

From my personal (yet relatively new) experiences and success with homeopathy, I have come across youtube videos and articles about successful treatment of brain tumours with homeopathic remedies. I just wanted to gently toss the idea out there in the event that your family may wish to explore treatment outside the conventional allopathic realm of medicine.

Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers.

What a calming, reassuring group of members on this forum - you continue to amaze and reassure me - 12 months since joining.

The little guy is home and they are working on a plan for treatment. Mum is being strong (relative), realistic but still hoping for a good outcome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
