- An introduction to the new reality of my life with brain cancer (Stage 4 astrocytoma).
EMAIL : storyofjanesbrain@gmail.com
I am fighting this from my end with an extremely low carbohydrate healthy ketogenic diet, exercise, and minimising stress.
If anyone has any helpful tips or success stories related to this approach, please comment or send me an email.
AUG 2 2023 - Diagnosed with brain tumor
AUG 4 2023 - Surgery to remove brain tumor
SEP 14 2023 to OCT 30 - Radiotherapy/Chemotherapy
OCT … - 4 weeks without treatment, followed by an MRI
DATE - DATE - Six months of taking a stronger chemotherapy pill five days per month
On August 2nd 2023, after experiencing increasingly severe symptoms, I was diagnosed with a grade 4 astrocytoma brain tumor.
On August 4th I had surgery to remove the tumour. They believe they removed ninety-five percent of it, so I will need chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
For six weeks, from September 14, I will undergo five-days-a-week of precision radiation treatment at the same time as a chemo pill. This will be followed by four weeks of no treatment. Then I will have an MRI, before resuming six months of further treatment. I will be taking a chemo pill for five days each month. This pill will be three times stronger than the one I took during radiation.
I will be documenting the whole thing here, so if you know anyone who might get something out of it, please share my videos.
To Jane, her family, friends, and all of you who are watching this, I wish you joy, love, and good health! Blessings from my home to yours!
Julie thank you for all of your blessings! They make the world, and most certainly mine, instantly better.
All the best for you. I read that fasting for 8 hrs before and after chemo can help. And adding melatonin to the chemo.
@swyllie I have read that too, regarding fasting. My problem is, I take chemo pills daily, in the evening. I fast afterward (I'm asleep, which helps), but before would be tricky. This advice might just be for people who have less chemo sessions.
Or maybe I'm just not being hardcore enough...
I will be praying for you Jane! God bless you and your family!🙏🏻
Sending you all the positive and healing energy. Love you Jane ❤️
Wish you well!
All the best. You will do great with that positive attitude ❤
I think your approach is really healthy physically and mentally. You are both strong and inspiring.
Good Morning Jane ! I have stage 4 lung cancer just started radiation! I Pray 🙏 Everyday for a Cure and wonder why I also ended up with this disease, It's been a tough 2 year's but having Family and Friends has been Great Support, Live Everyday Jane Like it was the Last ❤ ! Peace ✌️ ☮️ and Love Jane ❤️ I will be praying for you!!
Ah yes! Why did we end up with this disease?!? I am indeed grateful for family and friends. Feels like they are doing all of the heavy lifting sometimes. Living in the now for me is actually easier with a cancer diagnosis. It’s something, I guess. My thoughts are with you re the radiation. I hope you have few side effects, and that it gets less scary as your treatment progresses. Love and positive vibes to you my friend.
Jane, all the best and thoughts and prayers to you for a quick recovery.
@drussell15 thank you so much. I hope everything's good with you over there.
Jane - so articulate and insightful. We are all blessed and honoured that you are sharing your insights and experience along the treatment journey.
Thanks Kim for your support. It all contributes to the healing.
God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Praying for you!
All the best Jane and thankyou for having the courage to speak about your diagnosis. My thoughts and love are with you cousin.❤
Tom! Awesome that you commented. I remember so much about our childhood moments together. You and dear David and Kim were always so nice to me. Do you still like Dire Straits and Doctor Who??
You have a great attitude Jane, and that’s just as important as what you’re doing to take care of your body. Stay the course and we’ll see you for the next video!
Thanks @cs6111 for your positivity. Yes the videos are being brainstormed as we speak. We're both film stars now :)
Hi Jane, please read the Gospel of John (Bible). You'll be glad you did.
Thanks Mike! I’ve been saying little prayers into the void, so I’m open to everything :)
Jane I’m sending you so much love and support from the other side of the world at the moment ❤ All the best 😊
MUM!!! You're even keeping an eye on me from Europe?? Sheesh! Seriously though, it's all positivity, health and calmness in my life right now. Looking forward to making you have a coffee with me when you get back.
So sorry to here of your circumstance Jane. Life can be deeply unfair. I hope with the support and love of your family you can make it through. I am glad you are sharing. No one needs to suffer in silence. Take care.
Thanks for your kind words and understanding @colinsmith1288. It means a lot. Sometimes my mind attempts to wonder what this experience without the love and support of my family would be like. I have to quickly shut that thinking down! Feels like it would be insurmountable. I'm very lucky on that score.
Good Morning, Jane! Curveball here, sending you all our prayers. I'll be following your journey. God Bless You and JAR. Thank You for all you've been doing to support us DCS geeks, We Love You!
Curveball I really appreciate the prayers and the support. It's a new world for us now, but we're being proactive, and supporting each other. God bless you too!
Jason and Jane forever!!!!!!
You look great,good luck ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you're letting people know. If you have a P.o. box kindly share it if you need any things2make chemo more comfortable. Blessings to you and your family. We'll pray for you all.
Thank you much for your blessings Christine, and your offer to send me things to make my chemo more comfortable. Such a lovely offer. At this stage I don't feel any discomfort from my chemo, but again, thank you!
You are one incredibly brave person to be able to speak like this and take us on what is a confronting journey for you and J. Thank you for sharing. X
Thanks Lara ❤️❤️
I wish you health . peace & love
Thank you @rozacielo7792. May health, peace and love flow to you too xx
I hope you don’t mind the question: Did you take ANY Covid-19 jabs? If so, how many? What kind of jab?
Hi @DefendUrRights. I don’t mind the question. When Australia first got the Pfizer vaccine, I had my two shots. No boosters.
I look in you tube very young people who suddenly appeared cancer.What happens?it is the first year that I see this.
God bless. Jane.
😊🙏
And you @aaronbensi9723
Hi.
What would you like to know Jane.
Jane you’ve got this and thanks for sharing!
Chemo isn’t easy but ‘It’s doable!’
Tam
Thanks Tam. Sophie did tell me you have also been through it, and yet here you are. Such an inspiration. Let me know if you have any tips :)
I have a Meningioma non cancerous. I am currently being monitored for three days Then off to the neurologist to discuss my options. I have severe headaches I pray they take it out
Severe headaches! Painful AND scary. And the not-knowing can make it all worse. Even if it's benign. My thoughts are with you
@@JaneWhiteheadBrainStory thank you. Honestly if I die I die. God is the boss. I feel I’ll be fine.
Jane - go kick it’s ass. We are rooting for you!
James thank you. It all counts, and I appreciate it.
💯🙏🏽💕
❤❤❤❤
I hope yo will be better 😿🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
Thank you so much. I have high hopes for myself, and lovely comments like yours help.
Great work Jane, would never have guessed in a million years you just had brain surgery.
Thanks Andy! Yeah it's been a wild ride.
Prayers for you Jane in jesus name amen 🙏
Thank you so much for your prayers
I have a brain tumor as well
It's a shocking diagnosis Francine. All the best my friend.
Praying for a healing for her amen try cannabis oil and THC and worm medicine for animals to kill cancer amen
Astrocytoma IDH mutant or wildtype? Kisses
Actually I don’t know! I’ll ask my oncologist tomorrow and get back to you. Thanks for watching.
@@JaneWhiteheadBrainStory oh and if you can ask the grade it would be nice (grade 1 to 4, Astrocytoma IDH mutant) and the same for wildtype). Oligodendrogliomas have 1 to 3 grades. Best for your treatment!!
@ganer77 I have a grade 4 astrocytoma. I do know that much. Stage 4 is bad, but an astrocytoma is not "the bad one" - a gioblastoma - according to the doctors. I made the mistake of googling all this. Never again! Choosing to go with what the docs say at this point. They haven't been phased about sparing me from bad news yet.
@@JaneWhiteheadBrainStory This is good to be honest (grade 4 Astrocytoma is much better than Glioblastoma). I do not know how much you will spend but I do support you (i have necrosis btw). If you want to have just a good life then be it. This is good. Just be happy my friend.
Just came across your channel, you are so strong. I am in a dark place myself at the moment, depression and nerve pains, and I am so afraid it won't go away. But you are so much braver than me. I wish you all the best.
The question is ,were you vaccinated?
Yes. Check out @DefendUrRights for the details:)
Then there's your answer as to why you have cancer .oncologists are reporting a spike in aggressive cAncers in those who took the vaccine
I hope you are well.
My wife was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma grade 4.
Unfortunately, the standard treatment Chemo and Radiotherapy are not effective.
But, there are alternative treatments such as Ketogenic diet and medical cannabis that are effective treatments.
Avoid Sugar (Glucose), Carbs and Milk.
I agree with you entirely, and I hope she embarks on a keto (very low carb) diet, both as a tumour management strategy, and something to do that gives her a sense of empowerment and control over her own health. In my case these two things feel like they have equal power in my fight against the tumour.
I am sorry about the late reply. I only just noticed your message. It was not approved by TH-cam. I have approved it now, so it’s public. My prayers and love to your wife.
