Chemo can be combined with radiation therapy but chemotherapy has trouble passing the blood brain barrier. One option is to implant medicated wafers directly into the brain. With radiation therapy there are 4 different options. Whole brain, which is usually palliative. 3D conformal, IMRT and Stereotactic. Side effects will mostly depend on the location of the tumor bed (optic chiasm and brainstem are critical structures), additional margin and dose to be delivered. Just some things you can ask about..

It's not always cold windy and miserable in the UK ed!!

Thanks

Do a lot of fasting and pray for salvation

Brutal

Jesus can give you erernal life i believe

Go to Thailand. Live your life alive, not an experimental animal for the profits of the healthcare system.

My sister had it bad, she did chemo and radiation, clear for 5. Year's now, hope as successful for you ed

Wish you all the best for your decision and speedy recovery. It takes a lot of courage to vlog about your condition . That courage will help you beat the disease . If I were in your position I think I would go with the chemo . I wish my dad had done the chemo .

Radiotherapy probably won't have many side effects on your head. I had Radiotherapy on my throat. It caused me pain on swallowing but bearable. It really depends where you have it but as it's your head should not be too many side effects. Giving you a six week course is a low dose but longer period. But the cumulative effects will be the same amount. The units are called greys, and you can only have a certain amount. The objective is to interrupted the cell division cycle of remaining tumor and destroy its dna so it can no longer reproduce cancer cells. Hope this helps and good luck.

eddie for what its worth i went through 8 weeks r chop chemo without issues. best of luck to you.

Try Reefer it cures .many things maybe it will help.

I love Udon Thani.

to try to inject some humor, at least when they get done with the radition, you will not need a flash lite at night because you will glow in the dark and be able to see where you are going. keep up the good fight brother. my prayers are with you.

Consider having "CyberKnife" done

I admire your spirit and positivity in these tough times Eddie. Whatever course of treatment you and your oncologist decides, I hope and pray it’s successful. Good luck buddy, you’ve still got many more video make yet.

I spoke to you about my brother god bless him , I had cancer and had radiotherapy on my head every day for a month , never had any problems or side effects and I'm still here now eight years later, I must say that I was not classed as terminal, it was non Hodgkin's disease I had , really Eddie radiotherapy is okay, good luck with it and keep smiling

Good attitude ed your a brave man, easy for me to give you advice im not in your shoes but id get as much of you working as possible get out of that hospital and try and do as you always have.

What ever gets you out of that bed and on a plane back to Thailand you can do it brother

Hi Eddy, I can't tell you what or which is better as I am not so informed on the subject. But what might be helpful is if you type in either glioblastoma (or GBM) survivor stories; or glioblastoma survivor success stories; or GBM long term survival into the KZbin search box, a whole tonne of videos come up about GBM patients like you who have survived and how they cope. It might help give you hope. Also, some UK doctor posted a comment describing specific exercises you can do yourself in bed, ie squeezing a tennis ball and lots of really helpful stuff that will help you to recover faster. Do those exercises while you watch those videos Eddy. I look forward to seeing your next chapter back in Thailand! Fingers crossed!

My favorite Australian comedian was Steady Eddy 😇😇😇😇😇😇

WOW ................. Considering my retirement next year .. 2-3 Bedroom Beachfront Condo ... Da Nang or Nha Trang 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

New treatments for glioblastoma, including immunotherapy. A small trial reported by the University of California at Los Angeles in early 2019 found that patients with recurrent glioblastoma who were given the checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda® prior to surgery lived, on average, 417 days. That’s longer than the average survival rate of 228 days. Five percent of people lived more than five years. Keep on fighting mate.

Look at it this way, between the time you have posted this and the 12-15 months a lot of people would have died, at least you sort of know your date most of us don’t. Make the most of your time.

You look good...

So these are your options, Ed? Nasty intrusive therapy and then die, or no nasty intrusive therapy, and then die? It's hard to say what I would do if i was in your shoes, but from here, I think I know. Good luck, and God bless you, whatever choice you make.

Give it a go Eddy, I mean look at what @WTFfnt said!

sry to tell you that u will need help till the end of your road. which wont be in thailand. if you stay in bed u will be gone by next february. bye

AH STOP IT ...Bruce Lee a socalled KARATE LEGEND only lived to be 33 years of age , ...my wife died @ 36 yrs of age ,..I ..we had 2 children one 9 the other 6 .... STOP THIS YOU TUBE BULLSHIT ABOUT YOUR DEATH ! WE ALL FERKIN DIE ... eddy ferk noodle ! ..

Your cancer was removed and now if possible you should leave the hospital and have a electric wheelchair to move around. start a ( very low carb diet ) eat plenty of meat. whole fish .Bacon eggs. cheese. butter. cream stay away from vegtables and fruit and tinned foods. like a carnivor diet get out and about away from this hospital. Exercise when possible.Fresh air etc etc. Dont Give Up. Chemo weakens you and kills your health cells and remember your cancer is out and you have to keep any cancer cell from growing back. carbs feed cancer so stop the carbs and eat High fat diet you will lose weight but will be healthier.

Hi Eddie, it is known that cancer cannot live in a alcline body, it's worth looking into, all the best pal, Jimmy.

I'd love to see you go out on a high note Ed. Havin a few beers in a bar with some good mates. I'm an Ozzie and that would be my choice mate. Luvya Ed 😊

Eddy, really gear up for walking and physical therapy...I see it over and over...the patients that recover the fastest get up and walk, keep moving. The ones that don't really decline.

My wife had a form of radiation therapy for here AVM(yes not cancer but same process and it was 100% effective for her). It works very well focusing on what they are trying target. I've seen it used for comfort care, just to help lessen the growth rate of the cancer, it won't eradicate it , but will help.

I’m getting tired of seeing you doing these videos from bed, At least surprise us from doing one while sitting in a wheel chair.

Hi Eddy, I wrote a not so nice comment to you a few months back. I just want to apologies. In my head, I am thinking that I hope that you beat this. I really do. Keep your spirit high and look back on a life well lived. I hope that I can say the same in about 30 years. Thank you for all your advice along the way and I got you in my prayers. Cheers lad.

I am not going to preach on this (do your own research). Cancers number on love = sugar (50 ways of hiding this in processed food). My aunt had terminal cancel and was resigned to it. However she went on prolonged water fast, just adding a bit of salt to water in morning. She awaited death, as did doctors. However, she basically starved the bastarx disease cells. Five years later and she's doing great. She did the fast whilst undertaking chemo. Bet the hospital give you coco pops and carbs galore. Your charge, the human body can heal if given a chance.

Respect Steady Eddy!

Live your last adventure or many adventures to come your way you did it your way that's it

Hi Eddie, the important part of this is that you have had a successful operation to remove the tumour, the radiotherapy fractions should mop up and cancerous cells remaining after the op. Try to recuperate post treatment and get back to Thailand as soon as you feel able to.

There's risk with everything in life

If it wright what your telling us me which ever I would but hey this is me get back to reasonable health get back on that plane to Thailand better to burn out than fade away but hey eddie that's me it's your life your decision and I wish you from the bottom of my heart the very best to you

Just sad, so sorry. I would at least cut that time in 1/2 or longer because the effects will surely diminish your functioning. I am a nurse and see lots, but you've got the right attitude and vigor to live your way, screw that cancer man!

We are all thinking about you 🙏

Sound good I know you going to bo your best to live on the hi note. Your positive bo what ever it take . Get a nurse in thailand to help.

Only know what I think I would do. Very personal choice. So I will not attempt to advise you. Just know you are supported . And never alone . Sending all the positive vibes I got. Love your life brother. Remember Doctors only practice. Everyone of us respond differently to therapy.

This is my view having gone through BOTH chemo & radiotherapy for my throat only last year 7 weeks every day being clamped to a table with a face mask. The chemo therapy is like mopping up cancer cells that could cause problem later to promote another growth & works together with radiotherapy, so if this is the case for you, then GO FOR THE CHEMO, on the doctors advice. Preventative care is better that dealing with the outcome! The Radiotherapy is to zap cancer cells & avoid harming living tissue. so what i believe is the case, is that this is not needed if there are no cancer cells there as you say they have removed the cancer already, so this would only be needed if the cancer starts to reappear. Radiotherapy does not prevent future potential for cancer growth to come back.! If the cancer starts to reappear if or when you are in Thailand does this mean your mobility will be affected again? Nobody will be able to probably give you a straight yes or no on that. You need to assess how you can get by over there if this happens. For myself the cancer is gone & has not reappeared, I found the last weeks of radiotherapy tough going & the chemo , nothing to be concerned about if this helps you. All the Best Eddy.

I like the sound of all you spoke of Eddy. We should all live like its out last year. Best of luck for a speedy recovery and getting started on that trip!

Good man eddie,... go out fighting with a smile on your face 🙏

Just a quick thought Eddie if they say they they have got rid of all the cancer in your brain why are they giving you Radiotherapy?
