You’re adorable. There was a kid in my hometown who had a pretty bad malignant brain tumor at 17….he is alive and well today at 35 and living his best life. I think he also has kids now too. Right now is just a crappy detour in your life but it’s gonna get better, there is a rainbow after every storm ❤
@@diaryofeireann I’m so glad it gave you hope, I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel because I LOVE Ireland and you’re from there so my TH-cam found ya! ☺️ yes I looked him up on Facebook, he has a little girl, is engaged, and got his degree in engineering last year… when he was 17 he was down for about a year getting his treatment and then he has been brain tumor free ever since. This is just a little bad blip in time, but your happy ending is on its way ❤️ keep fighting, beautiful girl!
Great news that you're on medication that suits you better and your heart is clearly in good form, as expected. You look so happy and relaxed, despite what you're going through, which is so inspirational to the rest of us. Thank you for that! Don't feel too guilty about what you eat and drink - enjoy what makes you happy. Having an occasional pizza isn't going to do you any harm and you can always put your baking skills to good use making a healthier version at home. Over Easter, we've been making our own fresh pesto using wild garlic from the local woods, olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes. I've created my own special recipe. It tastes amazing and so much healthier than shop-bought pesto! (At least, I think it's healthier - it's definitely tastier!). Fingers crossed for Devin's visa, I'm sure it will be fine. With our love and best wishes, Rob and daughter Soph in North Wales xx
Love and live your life! Listen to what your docs tell you and try to void out the rest. Everyone has different opinions and I don’t think it’s fair to stress you anymore than necessary. Happy Spring! 🦋🌺🌸🌼🪷
That looked like a delicious pizza and your flowers are just beautiful. They look like spring! Here in New Jersey the forsythias and daffodils are all in bloom.
I can’t believe that they just now switched you to Keppra because that is such a basic go to from the get go! I was put on Keppra right away and has doses change till I was at 2000mg every morning at night for awhile before spending a week in an epilepsy clinic to see if they were actual seizures because they are so short
Maintaining a healthy diet won't directly starve cancer cells, as they're adept at sourcing nutrients within your body. However, it significantly boosts your strength during treatment. Remember to prioritize your mental well-being too, so don't completely cut out foods you enjoy. Take care!
There was a study from 2015 at Boston College that claimed the Keto starved cancer cells but nothing became of it to my knowledge. (I'm not a medical professional). However Keto is used for treating epilepsy in children and recent data suggest it may have efficacy in other neurological disorders. Keto is a serious diet but with possible serious adverse side effects which can be found with a search.
@@dantimberAs someone with a dietetic background, I wanted to add some context about the Keto diet. It was SPECIFICALLY developed to treat epilepsy and is still in use for that to this day. Some people have success using the keto diet to lose weight, but it maybe less due to entering the ketosis state, but rather cutting out carbs (particulrly refined carbs) that are very easy to overconsume and are less filling. Weight loss is associated with many positive health outcomes, but those health outcomes are not specifically from the keto diet but the weight loss itself. As a general rule (do not take this as specific advice, please consult your dietitian!) it is not recommended to lose weight when dealing with cancer (breast cancer in someone with overweight/obesity, for example, is an exception). You need energy to maintain proper bodily function. Keeping your weight up is important. Again, please consult a dietitian and/or oncologist with the specifics of your situation.
exactly this!!! and it pisses me off to see "oh you have to starve your cancer cells starve your cells stop eating sugar and get really weak starve cells buh cell starve buhhhhhh" and it pisses me off to see people fall into it because of the people who don't even have cancer spreading the lie because they read it on facebook
Thank you for sharing your chill day. Because of your positivity and great attitude, I caught myself smiling all the way through this video. Blessings to you 💛
Hi Eireann, I just wanted to relate my wife's battle with stage 4 breast cancer that spread everywhere (lungs/bone/lymph/liver/brain). Maybe some of what we have learned based on years of scientific research would be helpful to you. Keeping a very long story short by combined fasting (fast mimic diet), high dose melatonin, alterations to diet (whole plant based) and attention to the gut microbiome combined with chemo/biologics for 6 months per CT/PET and Signatera genetic tests all are negative. Oncologist/radiologist are both baffled. She also had minimal ill effects from chemo. The science shows synergistic effects of fasting/melatonin/proper gut bacteria with chemo/biologics on stimulating an immune response to cancer. If you can get the immune system to do its job again it has the sophistication to kill almost any cancer completely which chemo generally lacks. Fasting in particular evokes a wide array of biochemical changes that encourage the immune system to seek out and kill cancer. There are some examples of eradicating glioblastoma by immune stimulation and patients being alive and well 5+ years later. There was even a "60 Minutes" piece on this subject. Just food for thought. All my best.
I am glad to hear you are talking to a dietician - I have changed my diet completely for my precancerous blood disorder, of my own volition because my doctor brushed it off too (plant based, no sugar, etc) and some of my concerning numbers have gone down. I also take curcumin which I believe has helped, but definitely it's good to talk to an expert about these things. It may help and it certainly can't hurt to be as healthy as possible in every other way ❤ (A quick edit to say I do cheat sometimes and eat my favorite things, mental health is important too!!)
HI Eireann, yes Spring is finally here in Ontario and I'm so happy too, hopefully won't be long before we can sit outside without coats and sweaters. So glad your medication was changed and let's hope the new one suits you well. Wishing you a lovely week ahead and plenty more days of sunshine. XO
Spring HAS sprung! But, boy it is still so cold here in Washington as well. I hope this new medication makes you feel better. The first shop that you stopped at reminded me of a place in California. It has cats roaming around and you play with them, or hold them as you enjoy your beverage. Take care. 😜 💐
Happy Spring to everyone. Just got back from the Keukenhof Gardens in Amsterdam, to celebrate Spring in all its glory. 🌷 🌷 🌷. Please go at least once in your lifetime , it's truly an amazing experience to behold. Take your sweetheart ❤💘💕💜🩵💙💚💛 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷
So happy to see you smiling and enjoying the day. I am wishing you both the best remaining days in Canada, safe trip to Ireland and much better luck with doctors. Keep advocating for yourself.
Hello Eireann, you just showed up on my algorithm and spent the last couple of hours catching up. I'm wishing you the best and am hopeful that between you, your doctors and Devin, you get the proper diagnosis and care. The decisions that are made each step of the way hopefully are made by you. I don't know about these things but I think sharing your story is a great decision as people that DO know about these things are here to support you. It's just a feeling but I think the very worst of this is behind you. I will keep checking in on you and will keep you in my prayers. Do what has to be done to beat this monster but please live your life now. You've got this.
So glad you are having a pleasant spring.Here in South Carolina all of the early spring flowers are over except the Azaleas! Everyone is planting their summer flowers and the weather has been in 70’s and 80’s ! You are looking beautiful and I continue to pray all goes well for you, God Bless ❤
So glad to see you happy and in a spring vibe. Same over here, the calendar says spring, but it's cold, we even had snow the other day...For further videos, it would be interesting knowing more about you and Devin, how you met, and I though he was Irish too, but just realized I might be wrong? Anyway, have a lovely spring week!🌸
A beautiful day out, looked fun and the flowers are gorgeous along with your nails. So pleased the visa is progressing. Super happy to hear the tablets are finally changed. Have a great week 🤗🥳💙💕
I’m also on Keppra! It took me a little longer to adjust, but for the most part I don’t have side effects. Sometimes I might be more sensitive to light, but it’s worth it because I haven’t had any seizures! I also just started my 6 weeks of radiation 😊
So happy that you’re happy. Don’t worry too much about eating unhealthy. At the end of the day nothing is garanted. I have seen people with the healthiest diet get cancer. Balance is the key.
Your flowers are lovely and that seemed to be a great day! It’s unusually cold in California as well. Fingers crossed our respective locations both warm up soon .❤️❤️
You are glowing and genuinely look happy. I'm so glad you get to go home to be with your family . Loved this vlog as a Spring baby too, we love Spring. ❤
Aw Hope I’ll be so happy to get home. My plan was to always to stay in Windsor for a few more years so I’m definitely sad that I now have to go but will be so relieved to be around my family at this time 😊❤️
It’s Keppra I’m on, not had any issues with it and no one has told me my personality has changed. I do feel like I get more easily annoyed but nothing major. Hope it works well for you 😊
Hi Eireann, new subscriber here. I just wanted to jump on a say I’ve just followed your journey over the last few months and your are such a strong minded young woman and truly inspirational in the way you’re dealing with all the unknown. There is nothing worse than being passed from pillar to post in hospital but for something so serious, I’m amazed at your strength. By all means eat healthy but don’t forget to enjoy your food too, especially given your lack of appetite. You look amazing and I’m sending good vibes your way, I hope you make it back home to the emerald isle very soon 🥰
I take Keppra as well and the only thing to be prepared for is how it can affect your memory, so keep a notebook and pen near you for tracking those to-do’s and also know that sometimes a thought in the mind won’t even make it to the notebook a second later because you’ll have already forgot. But if you can keep a good attitude about a brain tumour then I’m guessing that memory slip ups won’t bother you.
i see very little about prayer or God in the comments or video but i have just started watching so i dont have all the info on her journey. i just pray she will not discount that avenue as a source of healing and strength in her trials. i am of course praying for her!
That bouquet has absolutely nothing on your beauty, and the bouquet is spectacular. You too are an absolutely stunning couple please, please, be good to our girl. Take care of her like a princess. ❤
Yes spring is here. We actually had summer temperature over the weekend. Almost to hot for this time of the year..But as I walked home today I took a deep breath and it smelled like spring, flowers, trees..everything is coming back to life. You don't need to defend your food choices. You do whatever feels best for you. You and Devon are a really beautiful couple and I'm happy you had a lovely spring day. ❤
Hi cutie. So good to see you. Think of you often. Spring fits you. So pleased to hear about your process for going home. Take good care of yourself.☘️❤️
Glad to see you looking so happy. Great idea to speak to a dietitian. Surely you can still enjoy your favourite foods in moderation, but get professional advice. ☺️💕🌻
You guys are the cutest couple! And… very happy for positive news for you both. Loved the spring day! Heading into winter here in Aus so trying to appreciate the gorgeous autumn leaves and all that brings. Thanks gorgeous!! 😘😘🤗🤗
Keppra isn't bad as anti-seizure meds go. I've been on it for several years now,still get breakthrough seizures but that's life on most medication. Hope it agrees with you and you don't get some of the grim side-effects you had with your previous med. Don't envy you doing the changeover thing as that can be miserable unless you're lucky. If baking is something that makes you happy and helps you through when things aren't great keep at it. Your friends and neighbours will love the stuff you cook and give to them so that's a win win. Glad to see you having a nice day out with Devon,sorry if I spelt his name wrong :( Any chance you can adjust the music levels on your videos so it's a lot closer to the audio ones? The music is way louder than the audio sections when you are doing the show around camera stuff.....not trying to be negative as your videos are cool but I'm pretty sensitive to volume changes(might just be a me thing though) and so it bugs me. Just do a listen back to this video and see if you notice what I mean, if you do it's just a matter of adjusting the levels...if not it's a me thing. Take care both and look forward to your next video PS: sorry bit of a long post
I agree with others here, don’t focus too hard on diet or anything that doesn’t have a strong scientific backing. There are so many snake oil salesmen pretending to have cures when they’re just trying to make money. Just focus on what makes you feel your best and makes you and your doctors happy 🫶🏻
Dear Éireann, I hope you're having a good weekend and still enjoying your favourite season of Spring - even if it is rather chilly in Canada! Here in North Wales it's been quite warm today. Wife and I went to church in the morning then off for a woodland walk with our autistic teenage son Thomas, collecting sticks along the way as kindling for our woodburner. Thomas loves collecting sticks and carrying them back! It definitely feels like summer is on the way over here, so we probably won't be lighting too many more fires. I'm sure you're looking forward to going back to Ireland to be with your family and friends there - fingers crossed you get Devin's visa sorted okay. I hope you're feeling okay in yourself, you're probably having good days and bad days as before and continuing to process the diagnosis and how you move forward from here. Remember we're all so blown away by your positivity and determination to beat this tumour and I think, as others have said, new treatments will come along which may well transform the prognosis. Also remember that we're here for you on this journey and we'll stick with you and offer our support. Don't be afraid to ask folk on here for advice or more donations if you need it. The important thing is to do whatever you need to do to stay strong and stress-free. Always in my thoughts and prayers, tc Rob xx
Thank you for the update. I’m glad that you can go back home and have an appointment with a neurologist. I have been on Keppra for 16 years and I haven’t had any problems with it. I’m thankful for spring! I live in the southeast of the United States so it’s already in the 80’s. I have heard cutting out sugar is a good thing to do if you have cancer. A friend of mine died last August from breast cancer and she researched diets and supplements to take to try to stop the cancer from spreading. One of them was bitter apricot seeds and Ivermectin. I don’t remember the others. It’s nice to see you and Devon enjoy a day out together!
The pissed off cats calendar had me rolling. Im glad I stumbled on your channel. I’m invested in your journey. Subscribed and looking forward to hearing more updates. Your attitude is inspiring and your accent is great! I should mention that I work in the Oncology field and seeing the struggle patients go through motivates me to provide the best possible patient care I can give. It’s a shame some people in the healthcare field lose sight of that.
Hi Eireann!!!! You ran through my mind! For some reason in the last month I have been unsubscribed to so many channels! TH-cam is messing with me! It is so good to see you with that bright shining smile as usual and you are my WARRIOR!!! And what a nightmare with the no coffee thing! UGH! This girl doesn't function without her coffee. You and your guy take care! Love to you!
Hi hun, it's lovely to see and hear from you, I hope your preparations to move back home goes forward without any hold ups I'm sure your parents can't wait to have you home 😊lol I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers take care xx
Just looking and listening to her you would never know she has a health issue. I certainly hope things go well for you going forward. You have a great attitude and that is so important when dealing with an issue. Best of luck!
Hi Eireann, good to see you looking so well and glad to hear you're starting to make progress with some aspects of your health. You must've been relieved to finally switch that anti-seizure medication. It's also nice to see your videos returning to that chill, positive vlog style that we all know you so well for! Stay safe and wishing you the best health possible into the Summer!
It’s cold here in the U.K. too, and wet, so much rain! I’ve just googled Keto and brain tumours and it does look promising. There’s a guy called Dave Bolton who’s apparently held his glioblastoma off for several years now and is still doing really well. Good luck if that’s what you decide to try. I’m trying low carb for weight and health issues, it definitely helps with inflammation.
Just discovered your wonderful channel. Wonderful because you are brave and kind to be able to share such a tough personal journey. And because this helps others understand and perhaps helps them come to terms with their own journey with brain tumours. Especially young peeps. Glad to see you experiencing some normalcy like going out and just enjoying the simple things too. Cant believe it take sooo feckiin long to see a Neurologist ffs!... Anyway, I look forward to hearing more about your journey and also a time when its all behind you and you can get on with however you want to live your life. Hello from Broome, Western Australia. All the best to you and your fella
I hope you get your wish and the weather gets nice as soon as possible. It was absolutely beautiful here today and the cloud cover actually broke up enough a few times so we could see the solar eclipse. I don't live in a prime viewing area but it was still pretty cool so I hope you got to see it if you live near the path.
I came across your video last night and I ended up binge watching all you videos all night. I'm so glad you've got support Nd your such a beautiful person I wish you nothing but health and happiness and I do not believ you will get another one. Yours is different and don't let anyone tell you any different. Dr are wrong all the time as you know full well. I know you are going to get through this I have migraines that are just like the extreme seizures you have Nd I don't have a tumour so don't get so freakex out. When you do I can't imagine you not having migrIns after that. And I mean I can't speak or see and my right side goes numb. You are going to live a long and happy life!! Blesz you sweetheart xx love from Liverpool Uk xx
Hopefully not too long until you’re home in Ireland, it’s good Devon should be getting his visa asap. I hope the new meds are helpful for you and reduce/stop seizures. I love spring too, it’s actually starting to get brighter and warmer here in England 🏴 thank the Lord 🙏🏾🤣
I just travelled across Canada from Vancouver Island to Halifax, one week ago in April. When I left my home on Vancouver Island I had cut our grass several times, taken pictures of flowers blooming, trees with leaves, in essence it was summer but on the cool side. Everywhere else in Canada - frozen lakes in Manitoba as seen from the plane - was just in the very early stages of spring, most trees had nothing on them, patches of snow in New Brunswick. Halifax was sunny but cold in the morning and still in the early stages of spring. I showed a picture of the heather in front of my son's and wife's place in Victoria with heather decked in flowers and a flower bed beside it with flowers blooming - that was Xmas day 2023. You might want to consider moving to paradise.
Changing your diet *can* make drastic changes in your health when you’re not well. I have an autoimmune that I got in an unusual way and the meds made me sicker but I couldn’t just stop taking them. Took 8 months to wean off of them and then I felt much better. I knew I had to try the dietary change but it was drastic so it took me about 1.5 years to fully try it. There wasn’t keto or paleo back then but good ole atkins. I did it with my green veggies than they called for and began to eat red meat again. Giving up sugar was HARD but I’d already given up wheat the year before. I was pretty grumpy about the sugar for a good 6 months but my health took such a drastic change for the better. People I barely knew kept asking me if I’d lost a lot of weight (I’d lost 3lbs!!!) in like a week. I changed my diet on Aug. 1, 2000! I have people tell me I have great will power but I don’t. If I cheat I get sick and now I’m allergic to wheat, rice and most grains! I was so sick for 8 years and changing my diet helps so much. Take it day by day. When I got into my chemical accident at age 9 the doctors argued whether we’d be dead at age 20 or 30 (back then they talked in front of kids). I’m 69 now so lifestyle changes really make a difference!
good news about your Rx yet also a disconnect in a sense. But ebbs and flows are natural. Loved the bunny in the video. Thank you for being a naturally positive person Eireann.
It's good that you are off Dilantin and on a Keppra. Btw, if you want less drowsiness then take the XR version for morning and use the IR (imediate release) at night. As for food, if you can avoid red meat or any preserved meat (salami, sausage etc) . Start to eat vegetarian diet or plan base food as much as you can. Keto diet is rough and hard to keep up and it might br harder on the body. It's been 10 years since i was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have a craniotomy and gamma knife treatment. So far, the tumor has been stable. Good luck.
I love your name and how it includes the Gaelic for Ireland. its such a simple and beautiful idea. i hope i find info about it as i watch more of your story. maybe you could include something about it if you havent already? Praying for you!
Not sure how I found your videos but you are absolutely beautiful. Your accent is awesome! I’m from California so I don’t hear that often. I will pray for you tonight. I pray god blesses you with better health and the ability to share your blessings with those around you. We all gotta go meet the big guy upstairs anyways but we go out on our own terms 💪🏽 never let fear win.
Hi girl, I just wanted to let you know that we have friends and there kid has similar diagnose as you ( but way word because his is stage 4) and his parents are both doctors and researched a lot of things and put him on Keto diet as well and 2 years later he is doing really good. They are also doing some other things, that I will be writing you about ( I need to gather all the info) and for him it’s slowing the growth of the tumor. But yes, he is also on strikt Keto diet. 💪❤
Chère Eireann, je suis tombée par hasard sur vos vidéos et je dois dire qu'elles m'ont beaucoup touchée. Votre êtes formidable et si touchante❤ je prierai pour vous et je vous souhaite un bon rétablissement, gardez votre esprit positif, continuez à sourire, vous êtes si jolie😊 je me suis abonnée pour vous envoyer plein de courage depuis la France❤❤❤

Don’t stress about pleasing anyone else (especially people on the internet) with your diet. You do what is best for YOU!
Thank you so much for this 😊❤️

Lovely to see you guys out and about (and lovely choice of flowers) ❤
Your home does look so nice … I loved seeing the “pond” out of the window !
So happy to see you happy! Looks like a nice Sunday afternoon trip out. Isn't spring the best time of year? Thanks for sharing with us xx
So glad you are having a pleasant spring.Here in South Carolina all of the early spring flowers are over except the Azaleas! Everyone is planting their summer flowers and the weather has been in 70’s and 80’s ! You are looking beautiful and I continue to pray all goes well for you, God Bless ❤
So glad to see you happy and in a spring vibe. Same over here, the calendar says spring, but it's cold, we even had snow the other day...For further videos, it would be interesting knowing more about you and Devin, how you met, and I though he was Irish too, but just realized I might be wrong? Anyway, have a lovely spring week!🌸
A beautiful day out, looked fun and the flowers are gorgeous along with your nails. So pleased the visa is progressing. Super happy to hear the tablets are finally changed. Have a great week 🤗🥳💙💕
I’m also on Keppra! It took me a little longer to adjust, but for the most part I don’t have side effects. Sometimes I might be more sensitive to light, but it’s worth it because I haven’t had any seizures! I also just started my 6 weeks of radiation 😊
So happy that you’re happy. Don’t worry too much about eating unhealthy. At the end of the day nothing is garanted. I have seen people with the healthiest diet get cancer. Balance is the key.
You’re so inspiring! You have the loveliest smile, keep glowing bright xx
Your flowers are lovely and that seemed to be a great day! It’s unusually cold in California as well. Fingers crossed our respective locations both warm up soon .❤️❤️
I have missed you. So happy things are moving smoothly with the visa. Being with family is important as you recover.
Lovely to watch you out and about enjoying springtime. Now if it would just warm up a bit and stop raining!😊 Nova Scotia.
You are glowing and genuinely look happy. I'm so glad you get to go home to be with your family . Loved this vlog as a Spring baby too, we love Spring. ❤
Aw Hope I’ll be so happy to get home. My plan was to always to stay in Windsor for a few more years so I’m definitely sad that I now have to go but will be so relieved to be around my family at this time 😊❤️
Devon opens the door for you every time :’) My heart!
Lovely spring video! Beautiful flowers 💐🪻🌸 and cute shops. Enjoy your spring and many well wishes for good health 💕
It’s Keppra I’m on, not had any issues with it and no one has told me my personality has changed. I do feel like I get more easily annoyed but nothing major. Hope it works well for you 😊
Ya think irritability/mood issues is the biggest thing with Keppra!
It was so nice to see you both going out and just having a "wee" blast! Love your flowers, too!
Hi Eireann, new subscriber here. I just wanted to jump on a say I’ve just followed your journey over the last few months and your are such a strong minded young woman and truly inspirational in the way you’re dealing with all the unknown. There is nothing worse than being passed from pillar to post in hospital but for something so serious, I’m amazed at your strength. By all means eat healthy but don’t forget to enjoy your food too, especially given your lack of appetite. You look amazing and I’m sending good vibes your way, I hope you make it back home to the emerald isle very soon 🥰
Glad your doing a lot better. Congratulations one step closer to home🏡, can't wait to see vlogs from Ireland!
I take Keppra as well and the only thing to be prepared for is how it can affect your memory, so keep a notebook and pen near you for tracking those to-do’s and also know that sometimes a thought in the mind won’t even make it to the notebook a second later because you’ll have already forgot. But if you can keep a good attitude about a brain tumour then I’m guessing that memory slip ups won’t bother you.
Such a sweet couple. God bless you both. Wishing you the best. So glad you’ll both be moving home soon! Praying for you! 🙏
i see very little about prayer or God in the comments or video but i have just started watching so i dont have all the info on her journey. i just pray she will not discount that avenue as a source of healing and strength in her trials. i am of course praying for her!
That bouquet has absolutely nothing on your beauty, and the bouquet is spectacular.
You too are an absolutely stunning couple please, please, be good to our girl. Take care of her like a princess. ❤
Happy spring Éireann!!! 🌻
Yes spring is here. We actually had summer temperature over the weekend. Almost to hot for this time of the year..But as I walked home today I took a deep breath and it smelled like spring, flowers, trees..everything is coming back to life. You don't need to defend your food choices. You do whatever feels best for you. You and Devon are a really beautiful couple and I'm happy you had a lovely spring day. ❤
Hi cutie. So good to see you. Think of you often. Spring fits you. So pleased to hear about your process for going home. Take good care of yourself.☘️❤️
Glad to see you looking so happy. Great idea to speak to a dietitian. Surely you can still enjoy your favourite foods in moderation, but get professional advice. ☺️💕🌻
You guys are the cutest couple! And… very happy for positive news for you both. Loved the spring day! Heading into winter here in Aus so trying to appreciate the gorgeous autumn leaves and all that brings. Thanks gorgeous!! 😘😘🤗🤗
Of course we care about what you eat, because we care about you and your health!! It looked like a wonderful day. Thanks for bringing us along.
That was lovely to watch and wanted to wish you all the best for your health and your trip back home ❤❤
Keppra isn't bad as anti-seizure meds go. I've been on it for several years now,still get breakthrough seizures but that's life on most medication. Hope it agrees with you and you don't get some of the grim side-effects you had with your previous med. Don't envy you doing the changeover thing as that can be miserable unless you're lucky.
If baking is something that makes you happy and helps you through when things aren't great keep at it. Your friends and neighbours will love the stuff you cook and give to them so that's a win win.
Glad to see you having a nice day out with Devon,sorry if I spelt his name wrong :(
Any chance you can adjust the music levels on your videos so it's a lot closer to the audio ones? The music is way louder than the audio sections when you are doing the show around camera stuff.....not trying to be negative as your videos are cool but I'm pretty sensitive to volume changes(might just be a me thing though) and so it bugs me. Just do a listen back to this video and see if you notice what I mean, if you do it's just a matter of adjusting the levels...if not it's a me thing.
Take care both and look forward to your next video
PS: sorry bit of a long post
Such a lovely fun video. Keep the vlogs coming Eirann much love
Have a wonderful springtime! If there’s anyone who deserves it, it’s you!
I agree with others here, don’t focus too hard on diet or anything that doesn’t have a strong scientific backing. There are so many snake oil salesmen pretending to have cures when they’re just trying to make money. Just focus on what makes you feel your best and makes you and your doctors happy 🫶🏻
🥁 🎉 😊 Yay! Happy Spring 🌷🌷
Dear Éireann, I hope you're having a good weekend and still enjoying your favourite season of Spring - even if it is rather chilly in Canada! Here in North Wales it's been quite warm today. Wife and I went to church in the morning then off for a woodland walk with our autistic teenage son Thomas, collecting sticks along the way as kindling for our woodburner. Thomas loves collecting sticks and carrying them back! It definitely feels like summer is on the way over here, so we probably won't be lighting too many more fires. I'm sure you're looking forward to going back to Ireland to be with your family and friends there - fingers crossed you get Devin's visa sorted okay. I hope you're feeling okay in yourself, you're probably having good days and bad days as before and continuing to process the diagnosis and how you move forward from here. Remember we're all so blown away by your positivity and determination to beat this tumour and I think, as others have said, new treatments will come along which may well transform the prognosis. Also remember that we're here for you on this journey and we'll stick with you and offer our support. Don't be afraid to ask folk on here for advice or more donations if you need it. The important thing is to do whatever you need to do to stay strong and stress-free. Always in my thoughts and prayers, tc Rob xx
Cutest couple ever. Thanks for the update!
Looking Happy and healthy😊 You always look so pretty! You have a wonderful upbeat attutude!. My thoughts and prayers go out to you❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the update. I’m glad that you can go back home and have an appointment with a neurologist. I have been on Keppra for 16 years and I haven’t had any problems with it. I’m thankful for spring! I live in the southeast of the United States so it’s already in the 80’s. I have heard cutting out sugar is a good thing to do if you have cancer. A friend of mine died last August from breast cancer and she researched diets and supplements to take to try to stop the cancer from spreading. One of them was bitter apricot seeds and Ivermectin. I don’t remember the others. It’s nice to see you and Devon enjoy a day out together!
So happy to hear you’re doing well with the new medication. Happy Spring! 💐
The pissed off cats calendar had me rolling. Im glad I stumbled on your channel. I’m invested in your journey. Subscribed and looking forward to hearing more updates. Your attitude is inspiring and your accent is great!
I should mention that I work in the Oncology field and seeing the struggle patients go through motivates me to provide the best possible patient care I can give. It’s a shame some people in the healthcare field lose sight of that.
Hi Eireann!!!! You ran through my mind! For some reason in the last month I have been unsubscribed to so many channels! TH-cam is messing with me! It is so good to see you with that bright shining smile as usual and you are my WARRIOR!!! And what a nightmare with the no coffee thing! UGH! This girl doesn't function without her coffee. You and your guy take care! Love to you!
Hi hun, it's lovely to see and hear from you, I hope your preparations to move back home goes forward without any hold ups I'm sure your parents can't wait to have you home 😊lol
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers take care xx
Just looking and listening to her you would never know she has a health issue. I certainly hope things go well for you going forward. You have a great attitude and that is so important when dealing with an issue. Best of luck!
Can I just say it? You 2 are the CUTEST !!!! Much love to you both 🥰
Hi Eireann, good to see you looking so well and glad to hear you're starting to make progress with some aspects of your health. You must've been relieved to finally switch that anti-seizure medication. It's also nice to see your videos returning to that chill, positive vlog style that we all know you so well for! Stay safe and wishing you the best health possible into the Summer!
This week finally has some nice weatherrrr !
Gave up coffee. So. I feel the pain of wanting a cup of joe and not being able get one. Pizza looks amazing. Too funny, the flowers do match ur nails.
Thinking of you and hoping you are doing well♥️
🌷🪻🌸 Glad red tape is lifting a bit to help you both.
Take care and thanks for the update.
"wee" you say soooo much lol its so funny I've never heard that before!
this is just the cutest video🥹🤍 that flower bouquet was just stunning and perfect for spring🥰🌸
It’s cold here in the U.K. too, and wet, so much rain! I’ve just googled Keto and brain tumours and it does look promising. There’s a guy called Dave Bolton who’s apparently held his glioblastoma off for several years now and is still doing really well. Good luck if that’s what you decide to try. I’m trying low carb for weight and health issues, it definitely helps with inflammation.
Just discovered your wonderful channel. Wonderful because you are brave and kind to be able to share such a tough personal journey. And because this helps others understand and perhaps helps them come to terms with their own journey with brain tumours. Especially young peeps. Glad to see you experiencing some normalcy like going out and just enjoying the simple things too. Cant believe it take sooo feckiin long to see a Neurologist ffs!... Anyway, I look forward to hearing more about your journey and also a time when its all behind you and you can get on with however you want to live your life. Hello from Broome, Western Australia. All the best to you and your fella
I hope you get your wish and the weather gets nice as soon as possible. It was absolutely beautiful here today and the cloud cover actually broke up enough a few times so we could see the solar eclipse. I don't live in a prime viewing area but it was still pretty cool so I hope you got to see it if you live near the path.
I love your nails! Thank you for sharing your day with us 😊
The flowers are beautiful 🌸 🌼
Love your flowers and your future plans🙏🏻
What a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing and as always blessings sent to you with healing energy♥️
I came across your video last night and I ended up binge watching all you videos all night. I'm so glad you've got support Nd your such a beautiful person I wish you nothing but health and happiness and I do not believ you will get another one. Yours is different and don't let anyone tell you any different. Dr are wrong all the time as you know full well. I know you are going to get through this I have migraines that are just like the extreme seizures you have Nd I don't have a tumour so don't get so freakex out. When you do I can't imagine you not having migrIns after that. And I mean I can't speak or see and my right side goes numb. You are going to live a long and happy life!! Blesz you sweetheart xx love from Liverpool Uk xx
Awe you two are so cute - thanks for sharing! Happy spring 🐣 ❤
Hopefully not too long until you’re home in Ireland, it’s good Devon should be getting his visa asap. I hope the new meds are helpful for you and reduce/stop seizures. I love spring too, it’s actually starting to get brighter and warmer here in England 🏴 thank the Lord 🙏🏾🤣
thank you so much for such a loveky comment 🥰 I'm so glad to hear that lol I'm jealous!! And his visa was just approved 👀
You are such an inspiration!!
I wish you all the best and strength to get through your challenges! You are very strong minded person I admire it.
Lovely video and thank you Eireann , you look beautiful and so do your flowers🌺💖
I just travelled across Canada from Vancouver Island to Halifax, one week ago in April. When I left my home on Vancouver Island I had cut our grass several times, taken pictures of flowers blooming, trees with leaves, in essence it was summer but on the cool side. Everywhere else in Canada - frozen lakes in Manitoba as seen from the plane - was just in the very early stages of spring, most trees had nothing on them, patches of snow in New Brunswick. Halifax was sunny but cold in the morning and still in the early stages of spring. I showed a picture of the heather in front of my son's and wife's place in Victoria with heather decked in flowers and a flower bed beside it with flowers blooming - that was Xmas day 2023. You might want to consider moving to paradise.
Eireann, those flowers are absolutely gorgeous 💕🌸🌷
Bye bye guys that was a nice little spring thing
Changing your diet *can* make drastic changes in your health when you’re not well. I have an autoimmune that I got in an unusual way and the meds made me sicker but I couldn’t just stop taking them. Took 8 months to wean off of them and then I felt much better. I knew I had to try the dietary change but it was drastic so it took me about 1.5 years to fully try it. There wasn’t keto or paleo back then but good ole atkins. I did it with my green veggies than they called for and began to eat red meat again. Giving up sugar was HARD but I’d already given up wheat the year before. I was pretty grumpy about the sugar for a good 6 months but my health took such a drastic change for the better. People I barely knew kept asking me if I’d lost a lot of weight (I’d lost 3lbs!!!) in like a week. I changed my diet on Aug. 1, 2000! I have people tell me I have great will power but I don’t. If I cheat I get sick and now I’m allergic to wheat, rice and most grains! I was so sick for 8 years and changing my diet helps so much. Take it day by day. When I got into my chemical accident at age 9 the doctors argued whether we’d be dead at age 20 or 30 (back then they talked in front of kids). I’m 69 now so lifestyle changes really make a difference!
good news about your Rx yet also a disconnect in a sense. But ebbs and flows are natural.
Loved the bunny in the video.
Thank you for being a naturally positive person Eireann.
It's good that you are off Dilantin and on a Keppra. Btw, if you want less drowsiness then take the XR version for morning and use the IR (imediate release) at night. As for food, if you can avoid red meat or any preserved meat (salami, sausage etc) . Start to eat vegetarian diet or plan base food as much as you can. Keto diet is rough and hard to keep up and it might br harder on the body. It's been 10 years since i was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have a craniotomy and gamma knife treatment. So far, the tumor has been stable. Good luck.
Still watching from Virginia! Praying for you!
Thank you so much 😊
I love your name and how it includes the Gaelic for Ireland. its such a simple and beautiful idea. i hope i find info about it as i watch more of your story. maybe you could include something about it if you havent already? Praying for you!
Not sure how I found your videos but you are absolutely beautiful. Your accent is awesome! I’m from California so I don’t hear that often. I will pray for you tonight. I pray god blesses you with better health and the ability to share your blessings with those around you. We all gotta go meet the big guy upstairs anyways but we go out on our own terms 💪🏽 never let fear win.
it's nice to see you enjoying spring, Éireann.
Hi girl, I just wanted to let you know that we have friends and there kid has similar diagnose as you ( but way word because his is stage 4) and his parents are both doctors and researched a lot of things and put him on Keto diet as well and 2 years later he is doing really good. They are also doing some other things, that I will be writing you about ( I need to gather all the info) and for him it’s slowing the growth of the tumor. But yes, he is also on strikt Keto diet. 💪❤
You're just a beautiful person, Eireann, inside and out.
