Hello
Thanks for your response and advice.
I haven't heard of cyberknife treatment so I googled it once you sent me the link (thank you very much). I will definately be asking my Neurosurgeon and oncologist about this when I next meet with them. Hopefully it might be an option for me down the track.
Have you had this treatment or know of anyone who has?
Cheers

Hello - Thank you for your response.
I also attended the 12 week Ian Gawler course a couple of years ago. I found it pretty confronting at first because I had only just been diagnosed and was still in the shock stage - I wasn't ready to accept it yet. I did the course in hope that it would help get me through the initial difficult few months of feeling numb and not knowing what to do with myself. I was really happy that I did the course.
The residential program covers the same sorts of topics as the 12 week course but will include all the vegetarian meals, meditation, yoga, juices, beautiful surrounds.
I'm looking forward to my husband coming with me as his way of coping with my diagnosis was to bury his head in work.
Do you a vegetarian diet?
Cheers

Hello everyone! I'm totally new to forums and have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm a 36yr old female have a very supportive husband and amazing identical twin boys aged 5 (very caring & understanding to my condition).
I was diagnosed with a grade II oligodendroglioma brain tumour a couple of years ago after having a grand mal seizure in the middle of the night. The tumour is inoperable dur to the position of it - right temporal lobe.
I have just finished 6 months of chemo (Temodal) which didn't do much for the tumour but did decrease the seizures I was having.
I decided to stop the chemo due to poor quality of life I was experiencing from it and I wasn't able to keep up with my 2 boys.
I haven't driven for a couple of years due to my epilepsy either which makes things a bit tricky.
I'm about to attend a residential Ian Gawler Program - has anyone done this?
Cheers
