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.

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula...

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Gluten related ??

      Thank you so much for your response Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on. I'm not eating gluten as far as I know. However, I'm not sure of cross contamination. My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ??? if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease...

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.
