Many people question whether cannabis oil can be an effective treatment option for brain cancer moving forward. Researchers are currently experimenting with different ratios of CBD/THC to examine the therapeutic effects on glioma cells in animals and human patients. In future I would like to see this explored further with additional clinical trials for lower grade tumours and radically excised malignant brain tumours.  Trials are currently underway by GW Pharmaceuticals on glioblastoma brain tumours. Please watch my video recording from ITV News and let me know what you think. In this video Dr. Wai Liu is being interviewed about his research in this area. http://youtu.be/CemX3-oGSQ4 Here is some of the research by Dr. Wai Liu and his colleagues. Dr. Liu is based at the teaching hospital where I had my craniotomy- St. George's University of London. http://www.sgul.ac.uk/media/latest-news/study-shows-non-hallucinogenic-cannabinoids-are-effective-anti-cancer-drugs http://m.mct.aacrjou...

I was asked recently if I could write an article detailing my personal experience of a typical day living with my particular disability/illness. The picture below is hilariously appropriate for me as a young man who was once very active. In my situation illness and disability go together as I have an acquired brain injury caused by a malignant brain tumour. My tumour was discovered after a brain haemorrhage on a train on April 13, 2013 followed my multiple grand mal seizures in hospital. I would go on to receive brain surgery to remove as much tumour as possible followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  Overall my 'acquired brain injury' is mentally and physically disabling and debilitating. I have some relatively good days where I can surprise a lot of people including myself in a big way, but also some bad days with migraines, fatigue, depression, and increased seizure activity. It can be completely random or it can be triggered by over stimulation in that part of my brain....

I had a seizure at about 3am in my sleep. It woke me up and I was conscious with no control this time, strange. I made a lot of yelping noises that woke my mum up and my right side was going a bit mental having a party on it's own. I felt very dizzy and still do a bit and the let side of my head feels very hot. I think maybe it was my own fault as I've been staying up later.  I'm glad I know it not the tumour because I would be panicking now otherwise. I was snappy and verbally aggressive to my mum which I apologised profusely for not long after. I get like that often after seizures and it's horrible because that's the complete opposite of who I am. I get a lot of strong mood swings where I can get very snappy and agitated and want to be left alone. I know I just need to recover and get on with it and that's what I plan on doing. This is my reality now, at least it's happening at home more than it does in public. I have only had small seizures in public and ...

Scan results were encouraging, I've moved from 3 monthly scans to 6! My seizure activity has also been improving gradually so I'm hoping to get out the house again this evening. :-)

Brings back all these thoughts. I wrote this when I felt overwhelmed and it actually helped me. No change on my MRI scan will, temporarily at least, release a lot of these feelings. 

Yesterday I finally had my MRI scan but it was different to the scans I usually have. I had an MRI spectroscopy scan which I think all brain tumour patients should have the option of having. I'm exhausted now and feel quite depressed as I keep getting dizzy spells and migraines so I'll be lazy and share this information about MRS. It is from Wikipedia BUT I have checked it thoroughly for accuracy. It's surprisingly quite a good description. They don't do MRS at The Royal Marsden which is one of the main reasons I moved my treatment to Charing Cross.  Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), also known as  nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy , is a non-invasive, ionizing radiation free analytical technique that has been used to study metabolic changes in brain tumors, strokes, seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease, depression and other diseases affecting the brain. It has also been used to study the metabolism of other organs such as  muscles . In the case o...
