      Hey please read this everyone at the very least because it is so important. i want to share the Gospel to you and you all great men and women (that's you reader) Jesus loves you all and only He can save you from hell and you sins. Romans 3:23 says that you and I and all of Man kind (except Jesus, who was both God and Man) have sinned and in Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You and I have sinned there is nothing WE can do to escape eternal Death in Hell but Jesus who is God Himself (God is a trinity He is one Being but beyond Mans comprehension He is three "persons" in one its called the trinity God is The Holy Spirit, The Father, The Son/Jesus but Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are Different but all one equally God) so Jesus came here as a Man born of a virgin and healed and many did great things but the Jewish authority hated him and wanted him dead so they and the Roman authority had him nailed to a cross but on the cross he took our sins on himself and Gods wrath and He died but three days later on Sunday He rose from the dead and all you have to do to be saved is place you faith and trust in Jesus Christ the Messiah as YOUR SAVIOR and Jesus will save you he will Give you the gift of what He did on the cross for you for me and if you haven't DO IT without a savior you go to hell and Jesus is there waiting Put your faith and trust in JESUS. and if you do you are in a moment saved.
      John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 21-31 But God has a way to make people right, and it has nothing to do with the law. He has now shown us that new way, which the law and the prophets told us about. God makes people right through their faith in[a] Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ. Everyone is the same. All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness. They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ. God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people’s sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.
      So do we have any reason to boast about ourselves? No reason at all. And why not? Because we are depending on the way of faith, not on what we have done in following the law. I mean we are made right with God through faith, not through what we have done to follow the law. This is what we believe. God is not only the God of the Jews. He is also the God of those who are not Jews. There is only one God. He will make Jews right with him by their faith, and he will also make non-Jews right with him through their faith. So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? Not at all! In fact, faith causes us to be what the law actually wants.

      A tumor is a good thing..
      It's the body responding to over toxicity..the body will build a bag to isolate toxins from the organs and blood,then the body will build blood vessels to the tumor (angiogenesis) to detox the poisons..the tumor is a result of your shty lifestyle.. the medical doctors are taught to think it's a bad thing and to be cut out .cancer is a symptom of oxidative stress..I will bet that you're on statin DRUGS ,statin drugs stop the liver from making VITAL cholesterol, cholesterol is a BRAIN ANTIOXIDANT..

    Please stay positive my wife had hers for 20 years she died 13th of December 2019, she got hers at the age of 21 and at the time we had a new born and a 1 year old. Because it was a glioblastoma grade 4 the doctors told her she had maximum 5 years they were wrong she set herself a goal and started her own charity up "Mel's go Gray in may" to bring awareness of brain tumours between that the kids and myself that gave her the motivation to survive. Please live your life and take every opportunity and Please don't take one doctors opinion as gospel speak to as many as you can.

      @@CharlieGilmour-ut7cu my wife was diagnosed with her tumour one year after we were married we had a 2 year old daughter and a one year old son, it was a stage 2 so they operated to remove as much as they could and then hit her with Ray treatment this happened every four years then about after 9 years she was told her brain tumours went from a grade 2 to a GBM they said go home and enjoy the time you have with your family there nothing they can do and most people are lucky to make five years. Our local doctor was not happy with this diagnosis so we where seen to see a local cancer doctor who decided to treat her with chemotherapy at first it was table and then she went to bag she would have one week taking treatment and then nothing for two months well I'm happy to say she stayed positive lived 10 years with her GBM. I put that down to her strong will support and her charity work as she would raise awareness about brain tumours and raise money for brain tumours alliance. Her charity was called "Mel's go Gray in may". I hope this may be of some help but after 25 years, grief and epilepsy the memories aren't as good as they use to be but I will say one thing and please don't get a fended but if you are a vegan you are killing yourself get rid of sugar and increase your meat, fish and eggs this helps the brain to function I am on a keto diet for my epilepsy to stop the seizures and they have reduced a lot. Wishing you and your daughters much love for this journey XOXO ❤ stay positive!!!

    My late husband passed away from an aggressive and rare form of cancer in 2006, at just 50 years old. He waited nearly four weeks for the pathology as sent his labs from Loma Linda, CA to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota before they determined it was a Leukemic form of Berkitts Lymphoma, or “two different cancers in one”. Like you, he took enough chemo to kill half of him until he was 100 pounds. Then we absolutely enjoyed each other and our children until it grew back with nothing to stop it. It was the year our lives mattered. We grew very close as he ticked off a bucket list of things. Everyone had wishes come true. Then he couldn’t get up one morning. His best friend arrived to watch their favorite NASCAR Daytona 500 stock car races, and by lunchtime he was gone. His fire went out so quickly that morning. Like those racers…🏁🏎

    It's tough, the anxiety of not knowing. Mine was also an incidental finding but I'd had crippling migraines from the age of three. Unlike you, I won the lotto as mine turned out to be a calcified Meningioma. While nothing's to be done at present but it could go active at any time. What goes through your mind is incredible, there's no sharing what your going through until you get that final diagnosis.
    I stayed with the six month follow up, then annual, finally every two years. The MRIs were doing my head in. Finally I decided two years ago that I wasn't going through anymore reviews. I know I will be the first one to know if it goes active. I'll deal with it if and when. I have too much living too do.

    I have nothing but love for you man. I Looked you up, subscribed, and found out more after I saw you on funkers. You’re a bad ass and what you’re doing over there for those people right now matters. The truth is no one gets out of this life alive but so many people don’t live while they’re alive. I hope you see this as a gift and if you need anything, you reach out to me man. Your brother in arms, Burlas.

    Thank you for sharing your story and journey. Just found your channel because it's your Ukraine videos of late. Just wanted to tell you my sister has the same type of brain cancer (oligodendroglioma) which was diagnosed in 2004. She's had 2 surgeries (2004 & 2017) here in the US and at this point they say she's got a normal life expectancy which would be about another 20+ years. I hope you outlive your doctor's prognosis! There's always new treatments and new strategies coming out. We got multiple doctor opinions and I hope you do too. Take care and we'll be watching your journey and pray you keep grabbing life fully like you are! Love seeing you sharing your kindness and travels!

    I had an oligodendroglioma tumour in my spinal cord 9cm in length when it was removed. It grew very fast, and I relate to your story in many ways. I would fall down and scrape my knee, and I couldn't feel the blood and weakness in my legs. The problem with oligodendroglioma is that it interweaves itself in the spinal cord, so it is complicated to remove. Once removed in 1998, I had 6 months of radiation treatment and a lifelong journey in a wheelchair, but I'm 40 now and still living life.

    @jessicaelizabeth2594 9 месяцев назад +1

    Thank you for this video! Great to hear your honesty and thorough analysis of what you went through from diagnosis through to recovery. It’s so true - brain tumour diagnosis is the SCARIEST bit because you don’t know what you’re dealing with. Once you know you can have some sort of plan at least. Getting to the professionals/surgeons (they see this on a daily basis so it’s not such a big deal for them). I’m just putting all my trust into these people - it’s AMAZING what they can do now and science is so encouraging! It’s so important for governments and the general public to be able to see the importance of funding into all of this because you NEVER know when you’re going to need the life saving amazing care..!!
    Thanks again for sharing, I’m happy to see you thriving years later- it gives me hope to do much more living. There’s nothing like a brain tumour diagnosis to give you a kick up the arse and to get on with your bucket list!!
    Take care and I hope other people find hope in this video you’ve taken the time to make.
    All the best ❤

    Is it better to know or not know?
    I'd say it's best to know. Yes, coming to terms with it is hard. I imagine there is a trenendous toll on your mental health when you learn about it. There'll likely be grief and depression for a period of time.
    But, once you get through that part, you'll live life more fully. You'll have a different perspective. You'll be wiser. You won't waste a moment. You can inspire others.
    The knowledge is a heavy price to pay, but it is worthwhile.
    Thanks for sharing. Keep going strong.

  • @amywalsh4006
    @amywalsh4006 2 года назад +1

    I believe there is a reason for everything and that if you didn't have that headache, you may have discovered the tumor when it was too late or begun having more severe symptoms while working. So I don't know what you're beliefs are but I definitely think God's looking after you. And now looking at what you're being used to do now in a war zone, you're doing a really important thing, bringing awareness to the reality of the situation and also bringing a bit of positivity through the interactions with families and civilians.

  • @kajsamelen
    @kajsamelen 2 года назад +1

    Came here today thru one of your Ukraine videos.
    I found out in 2007 at age 26 that I had a oligodendroglioma that had been growing for 5-10 years. Mine was operable and turned out to be mainly grade 2 and some 3. I was lucky I guess on where it was, but also unlucky because it’s come back twice since then. So two operations (only grade 2 on 2nd), two rounds of chemo and one round of radiation and I’m still here. Just out of spite I’ll probably live past 60 and regret not planning for that retirement that would never happen. But I’m a realist, once this one has come back a few times all the statistics goes out the window, so my stance is that it will come back and I’ll deal with that shit then and try not to worry now. Yes, maybe it prevents me from living life at my fullest but I refuse to be that blindsided I was the first time it came back. That stance seems really hard for people to understand. Anyway, I’m just rambling at this point, just wanted to leave a mark and say hi 🧠! Screw statistics, be awesome out there! Greetings from a 🇸🇪 girl who frequently jokes about being an airhead, because what can you do when it’s true. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Don’t know if that is as funny in english as in swedish! :)

I am 51yo and my son now 9yo but he was diagnosed at 6y9m optic pathway glioma astrocytoma stage 2.. ................... 3 brain surgeries and a shunt for life. He is ok at the moment but we do not know what tomorrow will be for the next 10 years. I know all of this pain and it is most terrible. The grief a parent feels for their child is as bad as the grief of our people at home in Ukraine. IT IS HELL!!!!! (((((((

    My son has Stage 4 Glioblastoma. At presentation at RAH he was non compasmentos. He was immediately admitted. An MRI found within hours of him being admitted that he had a large brain tumor. The medical team worked tremendously hard to get him into surgery as quick as possible, His brain was packed with fluid also, putting tremendous pressure in the brain. He had a craniotomy on the fifth day after he was stable enough for surgery. It took three days to get the pathology back and that was brain cancer, Stage 4 Glioblastoma. He had staples from one side of head to the other, he never complained. Chemo and radiation commenced after a week at home, that continued for six weeks. Two weeks off all chemo. Tomorrow he commences the massive doses of Chemo.Prognosis is approx. 18 months. This type of tumor has like tenticles and they weave their way further into the brain. They can't be extracted and so the hope is that the chemo will slow them down..

      People look into Dr. Joe Dispenza, I watched a testimonial of a man with stage 4 cancer that spread through his body, and had huge tumours in his brain.. He had 3 months to live, but completely cured and removed the cancer. It is possible, he's not the only one, many people have done the same with all types of cancer following Dr. Joe's work. If you search "Dr. Joe Dispenza Cancer Testimonial" you'll see them all on RUclips, more people need to know about it... Best wishes for your son!

It was wrapped around a nerve that went to his right ear so he lost hearing on that side, but is still living. I watch your channel but nothing popped up on my screen.

      Sorry to hear about that. Chemical exposure to carcinogens like uranium dust, materials burning, dealing with toxic materials and other things in the military is very common, as are this type of cancers. Your family members were probably exposed to one source like burning in the pits, dealing with toxic materials or something else. They could also have something harming in the house, hard to say without knowing how they lived.

And I was floored by it. Since then I have been coping better. My cat Bender my male cat who came into my Life helps me deal with living with the brain tumour better. I even named it lol. It helps me cope better. I know how you feel. There are good days with it and some really down days. Every days is a fresh brand new day to cherish. I can't really know the words to really make it better or make you feel better except I am with you with this Willy. You are not Alone.
