A business class flight to Thailand, limousine down to Pattaya, daily soapy massages, a night time companion every night, and good food, washed down with a few cold beers every day, talking bollocks with the boys, and generally having a good laugh! That's the way to see yourself out! I've enjoyed watching your videos ed, you'll be missed by those that enjoy your channel
Well Eddie, Ive finished my radiotherapy (5 sessions in 5 days). I felt iffy a few times during the following week. My concern is i havent had enough, but they tell me thats all I can have because of the cancers location. Im still taking cannabis oil, and will inform you of my progress, after my next scan (whenever that is). They've given me 2 years, but I'll prove em wrong! Good luck brother xx
Ed, I had radiation therapy in 2016 and it did NOT age me 5 years. Also, the side effects were minor for me. Don't let the bastards get you down. I survived and prospered and I was at stage 3 aggressive, two and a half years after a failed surgery - it's all gone and I have been living my best life for the past 8 years now. Just saying!! Take it one day at a time. For me, it was actually a blessing in disguise. True story and you'll probably know what I mean at some point.
My friends daughter was six years old when she had the same as you, she’s 16 now sometimes unsteady on her feet but she’s still alive so there’s always a chance of longer than a year of life. Keep a positive mindset if you can and don’t put a time limit on your life. Best wishes.
I would definitely travel to your most loved place in the world,and enjoy it as much as i can , for as long as i can, no expense spared. Take care Eddy 🙏
Eddy, I've had cancer,head injury from a motor crash and have had brain tissue removed twice. I'm a similar age to you. I travel around the world like you. I know exactly what's going on with your tumour and the sad fact is that the aggressive cancer cells are reproductive in your brain tissue. Radiotherapy is to try and kill some of those cancer cells so that you can be clinically alive for as long as possible,there's no known cure for your class of cancer. You stop radiotherapy,cancer grows quicker and you die faster. The truth you've to face is that eventually you'll be in a hospice and you'll be dead in about a year. You'll have to organise your affairs and when you've done that you MUST be realistic. Physically the dead brain cells will ultimately constrict all of your physical functions. I think if you basically passed on your knowledge and memories of different visits to different parts of the world and/or advise people about making a TH-cam channel would be good! You're inspirational in so many ways but not listening to that fat lady singing away in the distance isn't helping you. Good luck mate,cheers.
@@anthonycarney7849 He still dont know the exact date or the exact circumstances to that day, so he still have to have some margins, but sure no point in being a cheap charlie.
Keep your hopes up Edie,there is always hope. I have had 25 goes of radiotherapy for cancer over 12 months ago and am still going strong,mate,once again don,t give up.I am off to the Philippines in a couple months come and join me the booze is cheap and the girls are friendly
It's worth doing the first round of radio, it buys some people several months, after that not beings a slave to the hospitals what matters, and no one can take money to heaven.
Steady Eddy - Good luck on your recovery. If I had a year to live, I would consider The Philippines. They can speak English well and I hear their care-givers, nurses, etc are very kind and treat their patients well.
All I would say is if you want to do something, then do it now. My Dad was diagnosed with liver cancer in June, he was given 6 months to live by the doctor and he only lasted 4 weeks. The decline was quick and rapid. My Dad mentally prepared himself for 6 months and made some plans that sadly never came to fruition. Do things now while you can Eddy before it’s too late. Wishing you all the best and hope for a miracle for you, sometimes they do happen 🙏
i think you have got to stop thinking of it as a year to live,and think more about how you feel today and how your going to feel tomorrow .then think what your going to do after the treatment,and what your going to do then and plan be posotive who knows whats going to happen enjoy everyday you can
Death is the great equalizer. I would die with no regrets. I'm 73 and I decided a while ago not to fight death. However I am aware that the survival instinct kicks in.... and I probably WOULD FIGHT to live... With dignity... With people who make me happy
Eddy, stay positive. 👍 Life is a terminal disease. Some of us fight it longer than others, but none of us will win this battle. Live happy and minimize regrets. I'm praying for you to hit a new statistical high and raise the average!
I think it comes down to completing your radiation therapy and then seeing how you feel together with your overall mobility. If you feel good then get back to Thailand mate and enjoy yourself. The only concern of course is the insurance aspect. Keep fighting Eddy and all the very best !
Eddie,unfortunately for you,you KNOW how long you have left,most of us dont know,thats a real burden to carry around with you,every day is a day less,you have my heartfelt sympathy,i think if it was me,i would make the arrangements i would want for when the time comes,then go to your happy place as soon as possible,i wouldnt be waiting to complete chemotherapy,it wont make a helluva lot of difference to the timescale,eat and drink what you like when you like and enjoy company,its so sad my friend,but go and do it now and enjoy your time,very best of luck.
@@drawntoview The doctors are normally correct when it comes to terminal cancer, when my mum had pancreatic cancer , they gave her 6 months , she lasted 5, a patient who I looked after, she had leukemia, once she could not have any more blood transfusions, she were given up to 6 months, she lasted 4, doctors who treat cancer patients do it 7 days a week, they know what they are talking about.
My brother in law will be a 5 year glioblastoma survivor in December. There are winners, live every day, and what will be is not worth worrying about. You live with cancer, but you live .
Based on my experience watching my father with a Glioblastoma that took his life after 18 months, do what you can as soon as possible. It doesn't get any better.
Regarding the waits for hospital transport: if you believe you only have a year left, take a cab! You can't take your money with you and you retired in the believe you'd be able to survive financially a lot longer than a year.
@@Paola11852yes I agree Paola ….. I’m getting blasted for speaking up ….. pay for radiotherapy in Thailand and live , 5 star condo their cheap near hospital, bumrungrade in top area , rent their and go do your check up their Bolt every where eat better walk 10000 steps per day just keep walking and fight Get yourself in best shape he has ever been is possible when your still alive He is in saving pommie money mode , he still believes he needs money for 3 decades….. 12 month let’s say 5 years I would pay rent 2 years in advance I would eliminate moving pay and stay Get night nurse about 800 usa she will stay all night or day nurse cheaper if needed You will not get all that on nhs
I'd be maxing credit cards, take a bank loan if you can or remortgage house, and having as many holidays ie pattaya as possible. You got to go for it ed
@@Martinjp147 mortgage companies don't throw free money at people who aren't going to be here to pay any of it back? Young healthy people can't get mortgages but you think they'll give a remortgage to Ed as a gift?
God Bless you my friend I am still praying for you. Where there's life there's hope. You have a good attitude and a strong character. Just remember.....we are just passing through on our way to a better place, whenever that may be.
Enjoy nature. Nature walk where ever you can do it, Ed, even in the garden and trees nearest to your house. Nature heals too. Science is a wonderful thing, but the human body works wonders on itself. Live it one day at a time, with the belief that each is given one day at a time.
@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia - Those are good comforting words, Papa. I remember Eddy making a video 2 or 3 years ago when he was on a walk through his local woods and pathways. He seemed at peace, and I think that's the kind of thing that you mean, and I am sure it would bring comfort to him. Mother Nature is a wonderful thing, and she has ways of compensating us for all the knocks that may come our way throughout our lives. Eddy is facing this challenge very bravely, and with a good spirit. May it be a lesson to us all.
Ed, I love SE Asia and travelling BUT my grandfather had terminal cancer, and he was very comforted with palliative care... he was getting massages while being given morphine... he was in bliss in his last days.
Best wishes Eddie your an absolute legend . Been following yourself years and your the reason I started to travel to Thailand . Keep the positive side out as much as possible and thanks for all your wise words over the years 💙🫡
My brother has stage 4 cancer in the neck, throat. Radio-therapy was especially difficult for him because it constricted his throat making swallowing very difficult. He had a feeding tube in his stomach from which he had to feed himself for about 5 weeks. But similar to me, he is not too bothered with the prospect of death as he believes his consciousness will continue in some other form and may even come back.
Someone on TH-cam ( Dr Dan Bockman, passed from colon cancer) said, "if you're comfortable for a few hours, or a day, that's a good day!" Small achievements.
If I had a year to live I would make sure I've made peace with my God, because I believe everyone lives forever. Our body ages and dies but our soul, our spirit, lives on. It's important that people discover what they believe. For me, that is priority number one. God created us. He loves us and desires for us to live with Him forever. He has a name Eddy. Discover the one who made you. I know you are smart enough to know who I'm talking about. Once you make that peace, then live to the fullest until your time has come. You wont die, you will just move to a new destination. You can have every reason to live with that peace that wil surpass your own understanding. I pray you discover that for yourself. You're a good man. I admire your bravery in facing this. My prayers are with you Eddy.
Good luck mate I hope that you’re still vlogging and I’m still watching in 5-years time. I’m seeing my urologist on 12 Sep hopefully with good news that they managed to remove the tumours before they’ve spread. People have no idea what it’s like. Best wishes.
Truthfully and honestly I would travel soon possibly I wouldn’t waste any days waiting around but that’s my personal choice, good luck Eddie wish you a speedy recovery
I’d sell our home here and return my wife safely back to Thailand and see my last days out there knowing I’d sorted everything for her before saying goodbye
When I met my now wife deep in issan 17 years ago I promised one thing to her Dad before taking her to live in the uk with me I would allways take good care of her and I allways will . I’ve just recently completed 37 sessions of radio therapy myself and although I’m not in the same situation Ed is , with cancer having its own agenda who knows what the future holds ,, so I try and make the most of each and every day ,, if and I say IF I get given the bad news one day that I’ve got x amount of time left that’s exactly what I will do ,, then when I close my eyes for the final time and say goodbye to her I will rest easy . She will be secure financially 🙏
If your replying to me I could live for another 50 years and not be in any kind of debt 😂 we already have a property in Thailand and I would even buy another one no problem ,, I’m retired and have invested wisely through my life thanks
Take care Will wise of those of importance, and head straight to Pattaya. Stay in a swish place with comforts, do the things you are capable of and really enjoy, and ride time out over there. You say you are not impressed with England so leave the place and soak up the sun and fun in Pattaya. Live for you to the max.
I really would live it to the full and be reckless with spending money. Cheer's Eddie for all the videos and updates. You really are a great guy, i enjoy your video's and the banter.
I couldn’t even imagine what’s going through your mind. I really enjoyed your videos of your travels. I’m still stunned every thing you are just going through. You have more memories than most can imagine. You have a great attitude and that’s good
The lady cutting her hedge was simply living life .. We are all different and it's something I wouldn't be doing ,But it's 100% what my Mum would be doing . . Meditation maybe something you could get some peace from .. Hope you have the best of luck with your Plans .
The power of your mind over your body is powerful. You will live if you learn to meditate in a healthy thinking.❤if you do this we can look forward to lots more of your videos.❤ doctors too can make mistakes. Stop thinking negatively about your condition❤ do this and you will receive your pension. A phone call to tell you you have a yr to live is extremely insensitive. Stay strong❤❤
The problem is money it’s all about money , wants pension complains about cost etc …… you want to be free start acting free … spend up and use the money to improve life …. Taxi instead of waiting for nhs is simple example….. but that’s not going to happen is it …. Well either will the rest u need to start spending eventually or it all gets passed spent from next guy in queue of life
Most that have a year to live don't even know it. When your ticket is punched, it's punched, and you won't live any longer or "less." But no one knows their exact date, no matter what a doctor tells them.
Still sending you all of the best wishes mate. I'm glad your treatment has finally started. As for my final year, I really don't know how I'd feel about that. It takes being in that situation to really know. However, if I was fully able, I'd be in the same boat as you in that I'd probably want to head to Thailand. My happiest times in the last several years have been there. If I was struggling for mobility, I'd be focusing on revisiting places that have brought me joy closer to home. For me, that would be one or two places in Europe, and various places in the UK. In both scenarios, I'd want to spend a lot of my time connecting with friends and family, wherever they are. The people who are most important to me, even if we haven't spoken in a long time. Ultimately, unless you are in that position, it is hard to say. But I suspect that being given that diagnosis will help you to focus on what you really want to do and who you really want to spend time with during that time. In short, go with your gut feeling and enjoy your life as much as you can. You have the right approach in dealing with the therapy and then living your life. One thing I will say is that you don't know for sure that the cancer will come back. Yes, perhaps in 90+% of cases it may come back (I don't know the percentage). But that doesn't necessarily it mean it will come back. Unless it absolutely has come back in 100% of cases in all of history. Don't give up hope that you may be one of the lucky few who beat the odds. Positivity is so important.
Handling this like a legend Eddie, could be around longer than they told you. Keep it simple and do what makes you happy, a nice meal and a nice cold beer somewhere in South East Asia. And give little Eddie one more shot 😊
I would buy life changing gifts for the people I care most about. Eddy, you are doing a great service to many by sharing this difficult journey so transparently.
Follow your bliss if you can. The trouble is you have just been told some bad news you have to deal with, plus the side effects of your treatment that will make travel that much harder. I am 78 & dealing with some medical problems & just do not want to deal the hassle of travel. Would love to spend my last years back in Thailand, but I am a different person now. I have lots of memories of all the places I have been when I was young & healthy. You can't go back, places & people change, usually not for the better.
@billmoeller8897 - Nicely said, Bill. I am of a similar age to you, and also have new health issues which I am trying to deal with, including the side effects of radiotherapy. Although I think Eddy may benefit from returning to Thailand, there is the possibility that it may not seem the same to him any more, as you mentioned, which would be a big shame. But I know he has some good friends there, so it's possible they could make him feel at home again. Really it's only Eddy who can make that decision, depending on how he feels after he completes his radiotherapy course. We all wish him well, whatever he decides.
Ed, You are a smart bloke and grounded. You will be able to judge this better than anyone, because you know you better than anyone. My opinion is to try and balance treatment and doing what you enjoy. So far you seem to be remaining calm. I have no idea what I would do. I think like the lady trimming her hedge, you just get on with it, and while standing your ground with the NHS as your 'day job', enjoy the other time as best you can. I am not going to look your thingy up and offer hollow advice. You do what you think. And take some consolation that you have formed a little (or big) community in youtube who support you. I hope that helps you a tiny bit. Ask the Doctor if it is ok to have 'a beer'. Not 'get pissed', but have a pint? I really can't imagine in careful moderation it would matter! 🍺👍 Maybe a pint would be better than radiotherapy????
@@OrsJohn No, he knew he was dying but was in reasonable shape to get a flight out and spend some time in places he loved. Obviously he never bothered with insurance. His death came very quickly at home in his sleep
You've taken this bad news as well as possible Eddy la. Saviour every minute. I would find peace with myself and remember the good times in life. It my be cut short but you've had cracking life from what I've seen.
Very poignant story you bring up about that woman Eddie. I hope God gives you the same grace. I've always been a fan, and always will be a fan. Bless you, Sam
It’s hard to advise on this one Ed because everyone would cope differently with the devastating news you are so brilliantly dealing with, so here’s what I “ think “ I would do. I’d finish the treatment and immediately head for Thailand and drink in my favourite places, we all will face what you are Eddy but you’re time is just nearer than others, whatever you decide I send my deepest love and respect to you ☘️
Wow, that is a powerful question. 1. Tell everyone that you love that you Love them. 2, Get all the boring paperwork and legal Bull crap settled. Make sure that any assets and money are going to go to the right people. make sure it is up to date. and double-check the name of the person that has power of attorney. 3. sell as much as you can - be mobile OR stay at what you have found to be the best place. 4. Do all the things that you always wanted to do. 5. Dance by yourself or with a Woman to every location don't walk. 6. Have at least one crazy night of Debauchery Ring the Bell more than once and Max out a new Credit card! 7. I have been dead twice once for 2 and a half minutes and the other for 3 minutes, ( kidney failure) There is something/another place beyond this realm and NO I am not religious.
Your No 7 was mine too. (CKD) No longer afraid to die as I know whats there - I don't welcome it as I ain't done everything I want to yet, so sold up and moved to LOS...enough said. Stay strong brother in health.
Thank you so much for telling us about the GHIC. I'm planning a trip to Poland soon and this will add peace of mind in addition to my travel insurance. I wish you all the best for the future. Stay strong!
Hi,Eddy. If I were you,I would just take a day at a time.Trying not to think too much about how long ones got to live.Once that all of your radiopheropy is complete then,just do what you would like to do and,go where you would like to go.I would just focus upon doing that,because it's taking your mind off of things that's recently happened to you,plus doing something that you are happy doing makes you enjoy yourself and,a chance to think of something else that you would like to do. Bless you Eddy,thankyou for the update again,see you in the next one.😊
Your going through some tough times mate, it's normal to go through a range of emotions. Try to stay positive and optimistic and do what make you feel happy.
It’s a tough question isn’t it…most people think they know what they’d do in this situation but until you’re in it you just don’t know how you will react… strangely for me one of the first things I did when I got ill in May was cancel my future trips ( I’m supposed to be in Azerbaijan mid-September and then Africa in Feb…. Just don’t want to be on the road when I’m not physically or mentally up to it. Your videos Eddie are giving me a second wind and making me think that perhaps I could make that Africa trip early next year.
Hi Ed, glad the treatment has started. Let’s keep it going, keeping positive. Once car get through the therapy, and let’s see how it all goes. Once you know, you can make the choices as you go on.. rather then planning too much. Totally rooting for you mate, I would hope that’ the ‘Law of averages’ works out better but let’s keep it simple.
Not sure how I would react , it’s different for everyone , but you’ve handled it well.. and the few humorous comments are there.. keep positive, keep sensible , and look at what you want to do and keep focused.. it must be a shock and radiotherapy does work.. so go for it….
@@philipbarnard2474 who will look after him? Where was the all the people to look after he got ill last time! His health care cost a small fortune and all he had was Nick who found it all a strain eventually! It isn't the fairytale place a lot of you make it out to be for Ed's situation. The authorities may not even allow him to have a tourist visa.
The cost of 30 radiotherapy sessions in a Thai government hospital can vary depending on several factors, such as the specific hospital, the type of radiotherapy, and whether you are a Thai citizen or a foreigner. For Thai citizens, the cost might be partially or fully covered by Thailand’s Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) or other government healthcare programs. However, for foreigners, the cost is typically out-of-pocket. On average, the cost per session in a Thai government hospital for foreigners could range from approximately 3,000 to 10,000 THB (about $85 to $285 USD) per session. Therefore, for 30 sessions, the total cost could be between 90,000 to 300,000 THB (about $2,550 to $8,550 USD). These figures are rough estimates, and it would be advisable to contact the specific hospital for a more accurate quote. The feckers in the UK are raking in 180,000b per month per terminal person for small rooms, the NHS is a money racquet for the government. The aging population is a problem, the government are fixing this by delaying treatment for over 50’s, that way the’ll be seen a death by natural causes. The resources are spent on young immigrants because the government see them as economic contributors
People always quote live each day as if it were your last.. but the reality is nobody ever does.. in your situation Eddie I would make sure that my Will was in place and that my financial affairs were in order..then concentrate on what makes you happy nobody is walking in your shoes and we all make our own choices.. if getting back to south east Asia is important to you then once your course of treatment is complete then make it happen.. there are no pockets in a shroud fella only you know what’s important to you..Keep positive Eddie I wish you well.tomorrow is never guaranteed for anyone.
I know it's easy for anyone who has not got any problems to say just go to Thailand, but I know you must be worried about being in Thailand and the same thing happens again, and then you think now what, but what ever you decide it is your decision, best of luck Eddie...
Eddy - not sure what to say. I'm an American and 67 y.o. In last two years, I've felt unhealthy although I haven't been diagnosed with anything and I'm trying to get back walking more and eating better and drinking less. To be truthful, none of us are promised tomorrow but, we'd like to think we have time, we always have more time. None of us really know for sure. Diseases grow unknowingly inside us and accidents happen. So, I would hope everyone lives their lives how they want and can. That's the best you can do. For you specifically, try very hard to be positive during the adversity, and try to eat well, exercise a little and drink a little less. Right now, ya don't know. Nobody can truly predict what is going to happen. What will happen will regardless of anything so, why not try ? Try to keep a good attitude, try to move forward day by day. I do not know you but, I wish you good health and a good life in the future. Some say attitude is 90% of it all so.........
If I had a year to live the first thing I would do would be get my finances in order get a will made up so those who you want to look after will be taken care of, then with any remaining money I would do whatever I felt capable of doing, you need to check if you can fly if you want to go abroad will you be able to handle a pressurised cabin? Whatever you do make sure it’s what you want to do and it makes you feel happy
You are an extremely brave man and a huge inspiration to us all! What would I do if I was in your place ? I have no idea. But I agree with the posters that you should go where you are happiest and do what makes you happy there, if you are able. If that place is Thailand and you are able to go there? So be it. You’re still in my prayers Eddie.
I'm pretty much anti-religion but I'd pray a lot and also google how to pray. I discovered that prayer is not just some hippy conversation with God but involves a meditative and faith aspect and breaks down into petitionary and praise types of prayers. If you are Christian I think "hail Mary" is outstanding and you don't have to be Catholic to use it.
None of us are promised tomorrow and the reality is bro you still have a year .. some baby’s don’t even get 5 minutes alive… And at the same time I can’t comprehend your feelings right now … I do know though not a moment can be wasted not being around the people you love most … I followed Kev in Thailand and met him on a few occasions and like some of us watched him till the end .. and that’s what we will do with you Eddie … Find comfort in the life you’ve lived … ❤️
I know it must be a difficult situation Eddy, but I think you are doing the right thing by seeing out your radio therapy and making plans to go abroad after that. I would most likely do the same thing, providing all is well with mobility etc. I would live my last year having fun and making my loved ones happy as possible.
Pablo Kelly is still here after 10 years since being diagnosed with glioblastoma. I'd be looking for cases of people that have beat the odds to find out what they did different. Maybe there is something worth spending a bit of time researching.
@@bodazephyr6629 Press-Pulse Therapy essentially starves cancer cells by applying continuous metabolic stress (through dietary changes) and intermittent stress (using drugs or therapies). This dual approach aims to exploit cancer cells' metabolic weaknesses to kill them. In essence, it pits the metabolic demands of the mutated tumor cells against those of normal cells.
My hearts in permanent afib and about 35%. I have a year or twenty. I honestly don't know. I'm working, spending time with family, and planning a month in Thailand this upcoming January. It's obviously not as defined and sudden as your prognosis, but it's making me plan as if it will happen sooner than later. Wrapping my head around the fact we all come and go, which is obvious.
You are a true inspiration Eddy .. have followed your channel for a while now it is so sad mate .. you laugh about retiring but have you looked into it ?? think you can get it early if you have a terminal illness ..also look into PIP .. I am in Pattaya in around 20 days time will raise a glass or 6 for you bud .. best wishes ..
Eddy go the place that makes you happy , accept it is what it is , make the most of a bad deal , this is when you need your friends around you , enjoy what time you have left the best way you can , god bless you , and keep a smile on your face 😊😊😊
Tbh Eddie, I would try everything possible to prove them wrong. Even trying the “alternative” treatments that have proved effective for many people. Never give up mate.

Sounds like a plan. A very good plan
Well Eddie,
Ive finished my radiotherapy (5 sessions in 5 days).
I felt iffy a few times during the following week.
My concern is i havent had enough, but they tell me thats all I can have because of the cancers location.
Im still taking cannabis oil, and will inform you of my progress, after my next scan (whenever that is).
They've given me 2 years, but I'll prove em wrong!
Good luck brother xx
Stay strong !

Wishing you all the best 👍
good luck with your fight with this evil condition Craig, stay positive and yes......prove them wrong
Ed, I had radiation therapy in 2016 and it did NOT age me 5 years. Also, the side effects were minor for me. Don't let the bastards get you down. I survived and prospered and I was at stage 3 aggressive, two and a half years after a failed surgery - it's all gone and I have been living my best life for the past 8 years now. Just saying!! Take it one day at a time. For me, it was actually a blessing in disguise. True story and you'll probably know what I mean at some point.
nice
You’re a trooper Ed, I wish you all the best.
My friends daughter was six years old when she had the same as you, she’s 16 now sometimes unsteady on her feet but she’s still alive so there’s always a chance of longer than a year of life. Keep a positive mindset if you can and don’t put a time limit on your life. Best wishes.
I would definitely travel to your most loved place in the world,and enjoy it as much as i can , for as long as i can, no expense spared.
Take care Eddy 🙏
Travel will take him to an early grave people need a very healthy body and strong immune system to travel long distances
Eddy,
I've had cancer,head injury from a motor crash and have had brain tissue removed twice.
I'm a similar age to you.
I travel around the world like you.
I know exactly what's going on with your tumour and the sad fact is that the aggressive cancer cells are reproductive in your brain tissue.
Radiotherapy is to try and kill some of those cancer cells so that you can be clinically alive for as long as possible,there's no known cure for your class of cancer.
You stop radiotherapy,cancer grows quicker and you die faster.
The truth you've to face is that eventually you'll be in a hospice and you'll be dead in about a year.
You'll have to organise your affairs and when you've done that you MUST be realistic.
Physically the dead brain cells will ultimately constrict all of your physical functions.
I think if you basically passed on your knowledge and memories of different visits to different parts of the world and/or advise people about making a TH-cam channel would be good!
You're inspirational in so many ways but not listening to that fat lady singing away in the distance isn't helping you.
Good luck mate,cheers.
Excellent practical, logical, honest, to the point and useful advice.
We all die Eddy. Wish you the best. Remember five percent are still alive after five years. Keep a positive mind set.
Blow all your savings fast brotha, enjoy a five star lifestyle for once 5% not a chance worth risking leaving any funds on the table
Remember they say, most people die at 25 although they're still alive.

Go where your happiest, ASAP
I would go to the pub and think about it.
Amen to that ❤
It's worth doing the first round of radio, it buys some people several months, after that not beings a slave to the hospitals what matters, and no one can take money to heaven.
Steady Eddy - Good luck on your recovery. If I had a year to live, I would consider The Philippines. They can speak English well and I hear their care-givers, nurses, etc are very kind and treat their patients well.
EDDIE go where it brings you HAPPINESS ❤
All I would say is if you want to do something, then do it now.
My Dad was diagnosed with liver cancer in June, he was given 6 months to live by the doctor and he only lasted 4 weeks. The decline was quick and rapid. My Dad mentally prepared himself for 6 months and made some plans that sadly never came to fruition. Do things now while you can Eddy before it’s too late. Wishing you all the best and hope for a miracle for you, sometimes they do happen 🙏
Do what you want, Ed. Just be at peace with your decision and potential outcome.
i think you have got to stop thinking of it as a year to live,and think more about how you feel today and how your going to feel tomorrow .then think what your going to do after the treatment,and what your going to do then and plan be posotive who knows whats going to happen enjoy everyday you can
@derekevans6804 - Nicely said, Derek... and true!
Your videos hit deep. I really hope you get back abroad asap and live long past the estimated time they gave
I appreciate that
Yeah. Don’t be a monger
Death is the great equalizer. I would die with no regrets. I'm 73 and I decided a while ago not to fight death. However I am aware that the survival instinct kicks in.... and I probably WOULD FIGHT to live... With dignity... With people who make me happy
Eddy, stay positive. 👍
Life is a terminal disease. Some of us fight it longer than others, but none of us will win this battle. Live happy and minimize regrets. I'm praying for you to hit a new statistical high and raise the average!
I think it comes down to completing your radiation therapy and then seeing how you feel together with your overall mobility. If you feel good then get back to Thailand mate and enjoy yourself. The only concern of course is the insurance aspect. Keep fighting Eddy and all the very best !
Eddie,unfortunately for you,you KNOW how long you have left,most of us dont know,thats a real burden to carry around with you,every day is a day less,you have my heartfelt sympathy,i think if it was me,i would make the arrangements i would want for when the time comes,then go to your happy place as soon as possible,i wouldnt be waiting to complete chemotherapy,it wont make a helluva lot of difference to the timescale,eat and drink what you like when you like and enjoy company,its so sad my friend,but go and do it now and enjoy your time,very best of luck.
Words I think we all agree with 🙏
It's seems without radiotherapy the consultant said 3 months.....with it possibly 1 year +
He doesn't KNOW anything, the docs have just given him an estimate which could be way off one way or another
@@drawntoview The doctors are normally correct when it comes to terminal cancer, when my mum had pancreatic cancer , they gave her 6 months , she lasted 5, a patient who I looked after, she had leukemia, once she could not have any more blood transfusions, she were given up to 6 months, she lasted 4, doctors who treat cancer patients do it 7 days a week, they know what they are talking about.
I was told I had 2 years of "quality" life before dementia took its toll.
-- that spurred me to finally travel full-time and to live abroad.

The real life begins after this one. We only take our memories and deeds to the next one. Thanks for sharing your story.
This life is a test as to where we will spend our eternity ❤
Yes, and move on to solve bigger and better problems elsewhere -- or so I'm told.
My brother in law will be a 5 year glioblastoma survivor in December. There are winners, live every day, and what will be is not worth worrying about. You live with cancer, but you live .
Based on my experience watching my father with a Glioblastoma that took his life after 18 months, do what you can as soon as possible. It doesn't get any better.
Regarding the waits for hospital transport: if you believe you only have a year left, take a cab! You can't take your money with you and you retired in the believe you'd be able to survive financially a lot longer than a year.
Eddie still no change of diet? Exercising?? Dear me u really aren’t helping yourself at all 😳..waste of time ppl giving you ANY advice 🤦♀️🤬

Eddie I've been following you since covid mate , hope u come on out on good side mate, lots of love from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
I'd be maxing credit cards, take a bank loan if you can or remortgage house, and having as many holidays ie pattaya as possible. You got to go for it ed
Definitely this.
Why remortgage house sell it
@@soidog154selling can takes months to sell a house
@@soidog154 quicker than selling it I'd say
@@Martinjp147 mortgage companies don't throw free money at people who aren't going to be here to pay any of it back? Young healthy people can't get mortgages but you think they'll give a remortgage to Ed as a gift?
God Bless you my friend I am still praying for you. Where there's life there's hope. You have a good attitude and a strong character. Just remember.....we are just passing through on our way to a better place, whenever that may be.
Enjoy nature. Nature walk where ever you can do it, Ed, even in the garden and trees nearest to your house. Nature heals too. Science is a wonderful thing, but the human body works wonders on itself. Live it one day at a time, with the belief that each is given one day at a time.
@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia - Those are good comforting words, Papa.
I remember Eddy making a video 2 or 3 years ago when he was on a walk through his local woods and pathways. He seemed at peace, and I think that's the kind of thing that you mean, and I am sure it would bring comfort to him.
Mother Nature is a wonderful thing, and she has ways of compensating us for all the knocks that may come our way throughout our lives.
Eddy is facing this challenge very bravely, and with a good spirit.
May it be a lesson to us all.
Ed, I love SE Asia and travelling BUT my grandfather had terminal cancer, and he was very comforted with palliative care... he was getting massages while being given morphine... he was in bliss in his last days.
Best wishes Eddie your an absolute legend . Been following yourself years and your the reason I started to travel to Thailand . Keep the positive side out as much as possible and thanks for all your wise words over the years 💙🫡
Wow, thank you
My brother has stage 4 cancer in the neck, throat. Radio-therapy was especially difficult for him because it constricted his throat making swallowing very difficult. He had a feeding tube in his stomach from which he had to feed himself for about 5 weeks. But similar to me, he is not too bothered with the prospect of death as he believes his consciousness will continue in some other form and may even come back.
Love & respect Eddie. I'm so humbled with how you handling this. Steve AFCTV
Thats easy Eddie, enjoy the rest of your life and go out on your own terms, I mean its all we can really do.
Compared to your last few vlog videos from Thailand you are looking a lot better.
Thanks! 😃
Yeah, you look good! Work on that mobility!
Someone on TH-cam ( Dr Dan Bockman, passed from colon cancer) said, "if you're comfortable for a few hours, or a day, that's a good day!" Small achievements.
if i had one year to live?
give everything to my 2 sons. make sure they are both sorted.
If I had a year to live I would make sure I've made peace with my God, because I believe everyone lives forever. Our body ages and dies but our soul, our spirit, lives on. It's important that people discover what they believe. For me, that is priority number one. God created us. He loves us and desires for us to live with Him forever. He has a name Eddy. Discover the one who made you. I know you are smart enough to know who I'm talking about. Once you make that peace, then live to the fullest until your time has come. You wont die, you will just move to a new destination. You can have every reason to live with that peace that wil surpass your own understanding. I pray you discover that for yourself. You're a good man. I admire your bravery in facing this. My prayers are with you Eddy.
Good luck mate I hope that you’re still vlogging and I’m still watching in 5-years time. I’m seeing my urologist on 12 Sep hopefully with good news that they managed to remove the tumours before they’ve spread. People have no idea what it’s like. Best wishes.
Best of luck mate👍
Truthfully and honestly I would travel soon possibly I wouldn’t waste any days waiting around but that’s my personal choice, good luck Eddie wish you a speedy recovery
What a brave man you are Eddy. Wishing you well. You're an inspiration.
I’d sell our home here and return my wife safely back to Thailand and see my last days out there knowing I’d sorted everything for her before saying goodbye
Your a true gentleman
What if u live for 3 years. U will be in horrible debt. Alot of the time doctors get it wrong.
When I met my now wife deep in issan 17 years ago I promised one thing to her Dad before taking her to live in the uk with me I would allways take good care of her and I allways will .
I’ve just recently completed 37 sessions of radio therapy myself and although I’m not in the same situation Ed is , with cancer having its own agenda who knows what the future holds ,, so I try and make the most of each and every day ,, if and I say IF I get given the bad news one day that I’ve got x amount of time left that’s exactly what I will do ,, then when I close my eyes for the final time and say goodbye to her I will rest easy .
She will be secure financially 🙏
If your replying to me I could live for another 50 years and not be in any kind of debt 😂 we already have a property in Thailand and I would even buy another one no problem ,, I’m retired and have invested wisely through my life thanks
I didn't realize that Eddie had a wife.
Take care Will wise of those of importance, and head straight to Pattaya. Stay in a swish place with comforts, do the things you are capable of and really enjoy, and ride time out over there. You say you are not impressed with England so leave the place and soak up the sun and fun in Pattaya. Live for you to the max.
I really would live it to the full and be reckless with spending money.
Cheer's Eddie for all the videos and updates.
You really are a great guy, i enjoy your video's and the banter.
Thanks for watching!
Ed,you know what to do,finish your treatment and get out of here,all the best mate
I couldn’t even imagine what’s going through your mind. I really enjoyed your videos of your travels. I’m still stunned every thing you are just going through. You have more memories than most can imagine. You have a great attitude and that’s good
Thank you so much!
The lady cutting her hedge was simply living life .. We are all different and it's something I wouldn't be doing ,But it's 100% what my Mum would be doing . . Meditation maybe something you could get some peace from .. Hope you have the best of luck with your Plans .
You’re such a Great and Brave guy Eddy. God bless you man!
The power of your mind over your body is powerful. You will live if you learn to meditate in a healthy thinking.❤if you do this we can look forward to lots more of your videos.❤ doctors too can make mistakes. Stop thinking negatively about your condition❤ do this and you will receive your pension. A phone call to tell you you have a yr to live is extremely insensitive. Stay strong❤❤
The problem is money it’s all about money , wants pension complains about cost etc …… you want to be free start acting free … spend up and use the money to improve life …. Taxi instead of waiting for nhs is simple example….. but that’s not going to happen is it …. Well either will the rest u need to start spending eventually or it all gets passed spent from next guy in queue of life
Most that have a year to live don't even know it. When your ticket is punched, it's punched, and you won't live any longer or "less." But no one knows their exact date, no matter what a doctor tells them.
That's true. I bet he lives longer than a year. Doctors play it safe when giving life expectancy estimates
You’re so right
Still sending you all of the best wishes mate. I'm glad your treatment has finally started.
As for my final year, I really don't know how I'd feel about that. It takes being in that situation to really know. However, if I was fully able, I'd be in the same boat as you in that I'd probably want to head to Thailand. My happiest times in the last several years have been there.
If I was struggling for mobility, I'd be focusing on revisiting places that have brought me joy closer to home. For me, that would be one or two places in Europe, and various places in the UK.
In both scenarios, I'd want to spend a lot of my time connecting with friends and family, wherever they are. The people who are most important to me, even if we haven't spoken in a long time.
Ultimately, unless you are in that position, it is hard to say. But I suspect that being given that diagnosis will help you to focus on what you really want to do and who you really want to spend time with during that time. In short, go with your gut feeling and enjoy your life as much as you can.
You have the right approach in dealing with the therapy and then living your life. One thing I will say is that you don't know for sure that the cancer will come back. Yes, perhaps in 90+% of cases it may come back (I don't know the percentage). But that doesn't necessarily it mean it will come back. Unless it absolutely has come back in 100% of cases in all of history. Don't give up hope that you may be one of the lucky few who beat the odds. Positivity is so important.
Handling this like a legend Eddie, could be around longer than they told you.
Keep it simple and do what makes you happy, a nice meal and a nice cold beer somewhere in South East Asia.
And give little Eddie one more shot 😊
I would buy life changing gifts for the people I care most about.
Eddy, you are doing a great service to many by sharing this difficult journey so transparently.
600 comments in 10h.
This is an essential video for us all. Tks Eddy.
Follow your bliss if you can. The trouble is you have just been told some bad news you have to deal with, plus the side effects of your treatment that will make travel that much harder. I am 78 & dealing with some medical problems & just do not want to deal the hassle of travel. Would love to spend my last years back in Thailand, but I am a different person now. I have lots of memories of all the places I have been when I was young & healthy. You can't go back, places & people change, usually not for the better.
@billmoeller8897 - Nicely said, Bill. I am of a similar age to you, and also have new health issues which I am trying to deal with, including the side effects of radiotherapy.
Although I think Eddy may benefit from returning to Thailand, there is the possibility that it may not seem the same to him any more, as you mentioned, which would be a big shame. But I know he has some good friends there, so it's possible they could make him feel at home again. Really it's only Eddy who can make that decision, depending on how he feels after he completes his radiotherapy course.
We all wish him well, whatever he decides.
Ed, You are a smart bloke and grounded. You will be able to judge this better than anyone, because you know you better than anyone. My opinion is to try and balance treatment and doing what you enjoy. So far you seem to be remaining calm. I have no idea what I would do. I think like the lady trimming her hedge, you just get on with it, and while standing your ground with the NHS as your 'day job', enjoy the other time as best you can. I am not going to look your thingy up and offer hollow advice. You do what you think. And take some consolation that you have formed a little (or big) community in youtube who support you. I hope that helps you a tiny bit. Ask the Doctor if it is ok to have 'a beer'. Not 'get pissed', but have a pint? I really can't imagine in careful moderation it would matter! 🍺👍 Maybe a pint would be better than radiotherapy????
Good to hear from you
It's very simple for me. I would get on a plane and spend whatever time I could in my favourite countries...Croatia, St Lucia and Thailand.
@@OrsJohn My best friend did it, and he was terminally ill. He took off from the UK, no insurance, and enjoyed himself. He died a year later.
@@OrsJohn No, he knew he was dying but was in reasonable shape to get a flight out and spend some time in places he loved. Obviously he never bothered with insurance. His death came very quickly at home in his sleep
I feel for you brother! May the Lord Grace you with his mercy!🙏
You've taken this bad news as well as possible Eddy la. Saviour every minute. I would find peace with myself and remember the good times in life. It my be cut short but you've had cracking life from what I've seen.
Keeping you in our thoughts God Bless You Eddy
Hang in there Ed, hopefully you will get through this
Make it a great year Eddie , see you in Thailand Jomtien in Jan.
Very poignant story you bring up about that woman Eddie. I hope God gives you the same grace. I've always been a fan, and always will be a fan. Bless you, Sam
It’s hard to advise on this one Ed because everyone would cope differently with the devastating news you are so brilliantly dealing with, so here’s what I “ think “ I would do.
I’d finish the treatment and immediately head for Thailand and drink in my favourite places, we all will face what you are Eddy but you’re time is just nearer than others, whatever you decide I send my deepest love and respect to you ☘️
Stay positive Eddie , I’m so sorry , I wish you all the luck in the world , get out of England , go where you love ❤️
Wow, that is a powerful question.
1. Tell everyone that you love that you Love them.
2, Get all the boring paperwork and legal Bull crap settled. Make sure that any assets and money are going to go to the right people. make sure it is up to date. and double-check the name of the person that has power of attorney.
3. sell as much as you can - be mobile OR stay at what you have found to be the best place.
4. Do all the things that you always wanted to do.
5. Dance by yourself or with a Woman to every location don't walk.
6. Have at least one crazy night of Debauchery Ring the Bell more than once and Max out a new Credit card!
7. I have been dead twice once for 2 and a half minutes and the other for 3 minutes, ( kidney failure) There is something/another place beyond this realm and NO I am not religious.
Your No 7 was mine too. (CKD) No longer afraid to die as I know whats there - I don't welcome it as I ain't done everything I want to yet, so sold up and moved to LOS...enough said. Stay strong brother in health.
Thanks you too
Max out a credit card no standards sounds good for eddy
Thank you so much for telling us about the GHIC. I'm planning a trip to Poland soon and this will add peace of mind in addition to my travel insurance. I wish you all the best for the future. Stay strong!
Hi,Eddy.
If I were you,I would just take a day at a time.Trying not to think too much about how long ones got to live.Once that all of your radiopheropy is complete then,just do what you would like to do and,go where you would like to go.I would just focus upon doing that,because it's taking your mind off of things that's recently happened to you,plus doing something that you are happy doing makes you enjoy yourself and,a chance to think of something else that you would like to do.
Bless you Eddy,thankyou for the update again,see you in the next one.😊
Your going through some tough times mate, it's normal to go through a range of emotions. Try to stay positive and optimistic and do what make you feel happy.
It’s a tough question isn’t it…most people think they know what they’d do in this situation but until you’re in it you just don’t know how you will react… strangely for me one of the first things I did when I got ill in May was cancel my future trips ( I’m supposed to be in Azerbaijan mid-September and then Africa in Feb…. Just don’t want to be on the road when I’m not physically or mentally up to it.
Your videos Eddie are giving me a second wind and making me think that perhaps I could make that Africa trip early next year.
Hi Ed, glad the treatment has started. Let’s keep it going, keeping positive. Once car get through the therapy, and let’s see how it all goes. Once you know, you can make the choices as you go on.. rather then planning too much. Totally rooting for you mate, I would hope that’ the ‘Law of averages’ works out better but let’s keep it simple.
Not sure how I would react , it’s different for everyone , but you’ve handled it well.. and the few humorous comments are there.. keep positive, keep sensible , and look at what you want to do and keep focused.. it must be a shock and radiotherapy does work.. so go for it….
Sorry to hear that Eddy, hoping you'll pull thru it.
I guess most people who learn they have a year to live are too unwell to do much. I would use the time I have to do what I like doing
Eddie you are an inspiration to us.Brave man,under terrible circumstances. May God grant you patience and strength.
Your an inspiration Eddie hope you achieve your winter travels take care mate
I would go where I am most happy, and the people are friendly and have time for you and will look after you. Thailand
Absolutely right 🙏
As long as you've got money. Not sure how friendly they'd be once it runs out.
@@philipbarnard2474 who will look after him? Where was the all the people to look after he got ill last time! His health care cost a small fortune and all he had was Nick who found it all a strain eventually! It isn't the fairytale place a lot of you make it out to be for Ed's situation. The authorities may not even allow him to have a tourist visa.
If it were me, i would just spend time with my loved ones and do whatever that makes me happy.
Prayers and good luck to you Eddie.....
The cost of 30 radiotherapy sessions in a Thai government hospital can vary depending on several factors, such as the specific hospital, the type of radiotherapy, and whether you are a Thai citizen or a foreigner.
For Thai citizens, the cost might be partially or fully covered by Thailand’s Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) or other government healthcare programs. However, for foreigners, the cost is typically out-of-pocket.
On average, the cost per session in a Thai government hospital for foreigners could range from approximately 3,000 to 10,000 THB (about $85 to $285 USD) per session. Therefore, for 30 sessions, the total cost could be between 90,000 to 300,000 THB (about $2,550 to $8,550 USD).
These figures are rough estimates, and it would be advisable to contact the specific hospital for a more accurate quote.
The feckers in the UK are raking in 180,000b per month per terminal person for small rooms, the NHS is a money racquet for the government. The aging population is a problem, the government are fixing this by delaying treatment for over 50’s, that way the’ll be seen a death by natural causes. The resources are spent on young immigrants because the government see them as economic contributors
People always quote live each day as if it were your last.. but the reality is nobody ever does.. in your situation Eddie I would make sure that my Will was in place and that my financial affairs were in order..then concentrate on what makes you happy nobody is walking in your shoes and we all make our own choices.. if getting back to south east Asia is important to you then once your course of treatment is complete then make it happen.. there are no pockets in a shroud fella only you know what’s important to you..Keep positive Eddie I wish you well.tomorrow is never guaranteed for anyone.
I know it's easy for anyone who has not got any problems to say just go to Thailand, but I know you must be worried about being in Thailand and the same thing happens again, and then you think now what, but what ever you decide it is your decision, best of luck Eddie...
Eddy - not sure what to say. I'm an American and 67 y.o. In last two years, I've felt unhealthy although I haven't been diagnosed with anything and I'm trying to get back walking more and eating better and drinking less. To be truthful, none of us are promised tomorrow but, we'd like to think we have time, we always have more time. None of us really know for sure. Diseases grow unknowingly inside us and accidents happen. So, I would hope everyone lives their lives how they want and can. That's the best you can do. For you specifically, try very hard to be positive during the adversity, and try to eat well, exercise a little and drink a little less. Right now, ya don't know. Nobody can truly predict what is going to happen. What will happen will regardless of anything so, why not try ? Try to keep a good attitude, try to move forward day by day. I do not know you but, I wish you good health and a good life in the future. Some say attitude is 90% of it all so.........
Hi Ed, keep fighting. Don't believe 12 months, if you physically can, carry on regardless. Don't die in the UK
Other countries won't roll out the red carpet for him to enter as a tourist and drain their medical system to die there!
If I had a year to live the first thing I would do would be get my finances in order get a will made up so those who you want to look after will be taken care of, then with any remaining money I would do whatever I felt capable of doing, you need to check if you can fly if you want to go abroad will you be able to handle a pressurised cabin? Whatever you do make sure it’s what you want to do and it makes you feel happy
You are an extremely brave man and a huge inspiration to us all! What would I do if I was in your place ? I have no idea. But I agree with the posters that you should go where you are happiest and do what makes you happy there, if you are able. If that place is Thailand and you are able to go there? So be it. You’re still in my prayers Eddie.
I appreciate that
I'm pretty much anti-religion but I'd pray a lot and also google how to pray. I discovered that prayer is not just some hippy conversation with God but involves a meditative and faith aspect and breaks down into petitionary and praise types of prayers. If you are Christian I think "hail Mary" is outstanding and you don't have to be Catholic to use it.
Their is over 6000 gods what one is correct……
Your one top guy thats for sure . Followed you for years and you just left the uk and this happens. You are coping well thats for sure.
Steady away
I had this, it starts off easy and you think you will do it standing on your head but by the end, you are absolutely knackered.
None of us are promised tomorrow and the reality is bro you still have a year .. some baby’s don’t even get 5 minutes alive…
And at the same time I can’t comprehend your feelings right now …
I do know though not a moment can be wasted not being around the people you love most …
I followed Kev in Thailand and met him on a few occasions and like some of us watched him till the end .. and that’s what we will do with you Eddie …
Find comfort in the life you’ve lived … ❤️
I know it must be a difficult situation Eddy, but I think you are doing the right thing by seeing out your radio therapy and making plans to go abroad after that. I would most likely do the same thing, providing all is well with mobility etc. I would live my last year having fun and making my loved ones happy as possible.
We are with you all the way Eddy.
Pablo Kelly is still here after 10 years since being diagnosed with glioblastoma. I'd be looking for cases of people that have beat the odds to find out what they did different. Maybe there is something worth spending a bit of time researching.
Because he changed his diet, got rid of sugars and no essential carbs. Read the attached Google article on him.

My hearts in permanent afib and about 35%. I have a year or twenty. I honestly don't know. I'm working, spending time with family, and planning a month in Thailand this upcoming January.
It's obviously not as defined and sudden as your prognosis, but it's making me plan as if it will happen sooner than later. Wrapping my head around the fact we all come and go, which is obvious.
Make sure you have a pacemaker implanted..
Your attitude is very brave Eddy. Enjoy your remaining time to the fullest in SE Asia. All the best from BKK.
You are a true inspiration Eddy .. have followed your channel for a while now it is so sad mate .. you laugh about retiring but have you looked into it ?? think you can get it early if you have a terminal illness ..also look into PIP .. I am in Pattaya in around 20 days time will raise a glass or 6 for you bud .. best wishes ..
Eddy go the place that makes you happy , accept it is what it is , make the most of a bad deal , this is when you need your friends around you , enjoy what time you have left the best way you can , god bless you , and keep a smile on your face 😊😊😊
Tbh Eddie, I would try everything possible to prove them wrong. Even trying the “alternative” treatments that have proved effective for many people. Never give up mate.
Oh and just remember ,I am 51 and fit and strong ..You could easily out live me .. We never know what around the corner , all the best Eddy .
