Sorry I was not clear in my post but Jason has chosen to do radiation only. I also want you all to know that we met a lady that was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in January. We met her a couple weeks ago and she lives in Damascus. She has the exact same tumor/cancer as Jason however it was in the back of her head. She had most of it removed and decided to do chemo/radiation treatments. She did 6 chemo treatments and 3 radiation treatments and quit. She felt terrible and the radiation was burning her vocal cords. I have asked Jason to please be honest with what his body is saying to him. Not to second guess anything. Talking to her has been so helpful as she IS going through the same thing. She decided when she quit conventional treatments to use alternative treatments only. Unfortunately, she was already feeling the effects of the chemo/radiation. She started losing her hair and it is still coming out even after stopping treatments. She explained the alternative treatments she has tried, a lot of them are similar to what we are doing. Diet, supplements, Kangen water (she has the machine), she has gone to Chelsea's sanctuary (the light therapy) and continues to have a positive attitude. Guess what - her 3 month MRI showed no signed of a tumor!!!!!!! He story gives us hope and I am so happy Jason has someone that can related to what he is going through. Jason has not met her in person but did talk to on the phone just yesterday!
Here is Jason's Schedule. He was so tired after speech therapy I had to cancel physical therapy. Poor guy - I might have to rethink his schedule. He tires real easy which is to be expected.
