      It wasn't Jesus though, it was the doctors and scientists. Jesus could have just removed the tumor or prevented it from ever appearing. But he didn't. He also didn't heal it. The doctors and scientists did. I mean, several million Christians die every year of cancer, many more of starvation or other diseases. Where is Jesus there? Just give credit to those who deserve credit: the scientists, doctors and nurses.

      Look into the raw food movement, detoxification. Especially Dr. Robert Morse’s perspective on detoxification of the body. We are lymphatically compromised beings from eating unnatural, processed food diets. Fasting, frugivorous diet, herbal formulas and glandulars are a route that has saved lives. Some people have healed eating raw carnviore diet. Some doctors say that cancer can’t live on fat or a keto diet because they most cancers use glucose only. Lots of options.

    Really glad that the surgery went well and that you are recovering nicely. I had a tumor removed in my abdominal area, and it took forever for them to determine exactly what type of tumor it was. It ended up being a grade 1 tumor. A grade 1 tumor has cancer cells that are not growing rapidly. They resemble normal cells. It takes time for the pain to go away. It's amazing though how your nerves will regroup and your functioning will increase in the area of the incisions. Wishing you a full recovery with some good news about the pathology results.

    2021 was the turning point in my life. As a brain tumor survivor I can relate to all your saying. Your positive attitude will help you heal quickly. I can tell you your vision , hearing and sensitivity to light will be challenging . As for memory you will be impatient with yourself. But don’t . ICU was the best care in the hospital

    Glad to see you didn't suffer with the major issues that could have happened and I believe you have the right attitude and will power to bounce back and be even stronger than before. It is important to keep following your doctors orders and if they say you need to be scanned or tested every 90 days do it because they are trying to make sure that if it comes back they can catch it quick and hopefully avoid any major issues. I know you had a rough time getting taken serious the first go round but now that you have had to have surgery they will be taking it serious I bet.

    So happy you’re recovering well! You’re a beacon of light and goodness and it’s extremely inspiring to hear your story. Been through something similar; started having seizures due to a massive reaction to coming off a medication, and was in a coma for a week after flatlining, being brought back after seeing myself from above and fading into the blackness. Came back screaming “STOP, STOP, STOP!”and immediately blacked out again. Had to relearn how to talk and walk after a week of being unresponsive and hallucinating that I was stuck in the show “Street outlaws” (which was playing constantly on the TV for some reason) via an extremely painful audio-visual fish-hook laser that was very convincingly strung directly from the screen and into my brain. Suffered 65-75% toxic encephalitis, went through tons of weird scans and everything was spinning and I was constantly vomiting when I wasn’t completely blacked out. I finally started to actually recover and speak when I gained the ability to make someone shut the TV off. The first time I drank water by myself, it felt like it went in through my forehead, poured over my eyeballs, and blurred my vision before clearing up and going where it was supposed to. It was weird as hell. Still have memory issues, even years later, and I lost the use of my right arm for months (but luckily recovered fully). Brain stuff is so bizarre!

    Hi eireann. Glad to hear your surgery went well. I had a brain tumour removed last year and it hasn't regrown because I have been on a keto diet, and also taking:
    Rick Simpson oil
    Mushroom tinctures (turkey tail especially)
    Soursop tincture
    Seamoss gel
    Frankincense
    You can also try a shot of lemon which alkalises your body too

    Wow, you have made an excellent recovery.
    While I have not had a tumor I did have a stroke and lost my balance. I had to order them to get me up to walk. I also developed my own balance exercises that I could do in bed, as they wouldn't allow me to get out of bed, or walk without supervision.
    I went in on a Tuesday and got out the next Tuesday. I was a little wobbly for a while, but two years later I'm much better, with an occasional wobble.
    It's amazing how little you were affected after such an intrusive surgery. My mother passed away from cancer they said was incurable. It sounds so much more hopeful for you. I wish you the best and many more years ahead.
