Don't worry about your hair Ed. I'm sure it will grow back as soon as you finish the treatment. Mine disappeared years ago...and the world hasn't ended 😊
I'm older than you are and have been on Testosterone Replacement Therapy for several years and I've been losing hair for years. So I've been in the habit of shaving my head in hot weather for years. In Thailand I seem to blend in with many Farangs who are either bald or shave their heads. Anyway, I hope you get better. Live your life and I wish you success in finding joy.
Eddie is like a 1950s Dodge 4X4. I live between Bang Nak/country, Thailand, and Idaho. Believe me when I say there are still 1950s vintage internal combustion engine powered farm trucks that will get replaced when they break. Don’t tell Al Gore. Speaking of politicians and brain surgery, the current president of the US, Biden, has had open brain surgery and cancer. That surgery was 25 years ago. At least.
@@TheCragg777 Are you confusing Joe Biden with his son Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015? Other than some relatively benign skin cancer that was removed a year ago, I can't find any information about the President having had cancer.
Eddy touching on your comment about needing to bring travel videos to us viewers. You are doing this already. You are traveling through an experience most if not all people dread. Thank you for sharing this. This will be both informative and helpful to many. Best of luck.
@@anthonydowling3356 it's what Eddie is determined to do in 4 months hopefully. No one can predict how bad the radiotherapy has done to him but if there is a chance to come back to Thailand I'm sure he will take it.
You're doing the hard yards, Eddy, and obviously it's not much fun. But the treatment will end and your hair will grow back. You can always wear a beanie if the hair looks a bit patchy. Hopefully you get the results you and the rest of us want to see. You deserve it to happen. All the best, mate. ✌
Yep radiotherapy can make your hair fall out, it won’t grow back, but your health is more important, when I had radiotherapy for my prostate cancer I think it shrunk my willie !
Regarding the sugar point you made, I think you're correct if you're only taking about actual sugar, rather than all carbohydrates. However, there have been many people who have been terminal/stage 4 and yet managed to put their cancer into remission with low-carb/ketogenic/ carnivore diets combined with standard of care. The way it works is that you get your blood glucose levels quite low and the cancer cells have to compete with the other organs for it. The cancer cells starve as they need glucose to live and grow, but the rest of the body can survive just fine of fatty acids and ketones.
I stopped taking sugar over a year ago, then packed i carbs. Apart from a couple of weeks craving now and then, I don't miss any of them and feel fantastic. I've lost a stone too with out even trying.

Eddie your’re now down the home straight with your radio therapy. Start to look forward to that first holiday since this nightmare began. We all love you mate. Stay strong and thanks for sharing! We’re all thinking of you. 🙏
trip to Europe looks to be keeping you very positive...dont start thinking its not on, until , maybe you feel you're not up to it come the time,...,Your mental health is just as important as your physical...amazing how it helps heal the body..youre doing great mate..great to hear you laugh.
Keep up the good spirits mate. Don't let the situation control you. Keep focusing on what you want. And don't worry about the hair loss you'll just like look like every other time. Digging Harry when you get to Pattaya lol
I think your positive attitude and the desire to get better is going to pull you through. I would not be surprised if you just keep going and that you are an outlier in the statics.
Ed, my RT went on for 8 weeks and it's a bit of a marathon towards the end but I still went on a trip right after as a reward to myself if for nothing else. I had no idea at that point if it would work or not after my failed surgery from 2 years before and I honestly had resigned myself to it not working so I said , well, fuck it, I am going on a trip then, LOL. Glad I did and much to my surprise, that RT DID work, obviously, 8 years on and still kicking, actually healthier now than I was before I got cancer two decades ago! Honestly, I think my mental health was exceptionally good throughout all that and I feel like yours is similar. You are curious about it and carrying on with a positive attitude which is the best way to deal with it. That attitude is golden. They told me it would get much worse as well - but it really didn't as far as I am concerned. Just tired for about a week or two after but then I could feel my strength return - because after all - the cancer itself is making you tired so once that is removed as a health burden your body will get to work fixing the effects of the radiation. So hopefully it won't be nearly as bad as they tell you. Reactions vary.
Your looking good and with that positive attitude you will get through the 2nd half of the radiation therapy easily,as for the sugar being a diabetic cutting out as much of the sugar as i can i feel a whole lot better and i dropped about 30 lbs personally I don't believe everything a doctor says mainly because not all doctors agree with regards to treatment and or preventative measures
Thanks for keeping us informed. This is an Ed Sweeney channel more than a Travel channel. Keep doing what you are doing, and your public will gladly tag along.
I guess he has a 20 stoner tucked away somewhere. To be sick and alone except for mongering thoughts and experiences is is sad at this late stage in his life.
Stay strong Ed you’re voice is strong your looking strong get this treatment out of the road mate then Thailand bound I’ve always said if I x amount of time to live that’s we’re I would go or Philippines some of the best days of my life in those countries praying for you mate ❤
Actually your face looks younger Eddie, more smooth. Try exercising those legs, get that blood pumping, half squads, leg raises. Will speed up your mobility recovery. Good luck.
You can always take the train home from your European destination. If you are feeling bad on the train, you just get off at the next stop and walk into a hotel. Wait until you feel a bit better and then carry on. It is a great way of seeing more places. You are not in a rush. Trains in Europe are not a rip-off like in the UK.
I just noticed it too! Just a few days ago you have a decent head of hair. After a quick google, it says if radiotherapy on the head, you'll probably lose it. And it will probably come back 3 to 6 months after therapy completes.
Hi Eddy, keep your chin up, those final sessions will soon be over. As for the hair, don't worry about it, i am in my late 60s and was pretty much bald when i was a school kid aged 14, shave it of, you sound very upbeat keep up the positivity. Cheers mate.
Nice one, Eddy. Thanks for the update. Each and every landmark is another goal. BTW, I started shaving off my hair in my 30s, and I love the feel of the sunshine on my bonce, mate! I rarely let it grow for more than two weeks, as it starts to irritate the hell out of me.
As long as your mustache stays put, not worried, mate. If I was you I would listen to my gut feeling AND try everything alternative along with the general treatment. Just in case. Your constitution could be different - just like you are different....than most charmers.....🙂 Stay strong......
Hi Eddy Stay strong! I picked up your book, Five Go To Pattaya to read on the flight from California to Taiwan (I arrived a couple hours ago) I am enjoying it, I can’t help but wonder how much of it was gleaned from actual experience. It is easy to dislike a few of the characters. God Bless.
Good man Eddy. You're getting there. As for the hair thing, even after chemotherapy the hair comes back. Sugar and salt is killing us all I'm sure. I'm avoiding both as best I can. Trouble is most of the stuff in Tesco's etc is shite! I've got a European trip coming up too! Nice and the beautiful Côte d'Azure for a few days. My circumstances don't allow me to travel much. Hoping to get to Thailand and Japan next February. You're looking well Ed lad, all the best. Bill
You think doctors aren't lying? What doctors want is that you take the therapy they are offering, they don't especially care about you. It's a job for them and they have many patients. Tell us one thing we told you wrong?
I don't want to sound to harsh. But u obviously enjoyed the booze before so I ain't got a clue why u ain't enjoying now while u can, surely enjoy ur last bit of life
losing your hair should be the least of your problem Ed, good luck mate.
Eddy is one of the 3 English men in Thailand that isn't bald.
@@ubiquitousdiabolus I am one of the other two 5555
I am really impressed by how mentally strong you are.
Eddie cut your hair to a number 1 you won't notice it so much
Keep on the good fight eddie, almost half way there.
You seem very positive and mentally strong, considering your position.. I wish you all the best and hope you get to go enjoy some warm place somewhere
Don't worry about your hair Ed. I'm sure it will grow back as soon as you finish the treatment. Mine disappeared years ago...and the world hasn't ended 😊
Thanks for sharing eddy, I’m sure it’s good for you to talk about your troubles and we enjoy hearing. Can happen to any one of us. All the best mate

You've always been brave, even now with this. And that's what I like about your videos, travel or no travel
I appreciate that!
I'm a massive fan of yours Eddy.I know Nick Dean very well. Keep the vlogs going and I pray that the treatment will work for you. Stay positive!

If you are in pain or headaches you should see your doctor and get them to prescribe something for you, also your prescriptions are free.
Ed radiation is painless if your complaining about minimal side effects than thank GOD you don't take on chemotherapy
Eddie, we all do not know what time we have left. Years, Months, Days, only God knows for sure
So live life to the fullest when you still can.
Looking good Eddie, stay strong stay positive and kick cancers arse 👍
