Glioblastoma cancer cured.

Brittany Maynard, who became the public face of the controversial right-to-die movement over the last few weeks, ended her own life Saturday at her home in Portland, Oregon. She was 29. 

"Goodbye to all my dear friends and family that I love. Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more," she wrote on Facebook. "The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!" 

Doctors told Maynard she had six months to live last spring after she was diagnosed with a likely stage 4 glioblastoma. She made headlines around the world when she announced she intended to die – under Oregon's Death with Dignity Act – by taking a fatal dose of barbiturates, prescribed to her by a doctor, when her suffering became too great.

Cured: I am so sorry about your mother.  It's not usually an easy road for anyone.  You asked about diet specifically so I will give you my (my husband's) experience with diet.

My husband was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in May of 2003.  He was 39 at the time.  He was given 3-6 months with treatment.  Long story short, we ended up at Duke, he had brain surgery, eventually chemo, radiation, etc... 

We were doing our own research like crazy shortly after he was diagnosed because we decided just because we were told it was a death sentence didn't mean it was.

Anyway, we researched diet & some supplementation out of the gate.  By fall we had given up everything whiter (sugar, potatoes, flour...)  We were only eating free range beef & chicken & Alaskan Salmon- and not a lot of that.  Thanksgiving of 2003 marked the last time my daughter & I ate meat.  I think my husband ate it a few times between then and February 23.  He gave up all meat & became a mostly raw vegan on the day after his 40th birthday.

We have been completely raw vegans for years at a time.  We are currently mostly raw vegans.  We eat little or no processed foods and we are mostly organic.

Doctors told my husband was cancer free in December of 2003.  He has never had a reoccurrence. He opted out of another year of chemo (Duke's protocal back then) and other than anti seizure drugs, has not been on anything in since 2004. (Although he did take decadron for swelling do to previous brain radiation years ago when recommended)

People can believe what they want about diet, but it has been our experience that a clean and mostly raw vegan diet can change your life.  We also juice, mainly green juices, sometimes carrot (We did carrot a lot in the beginning-but now I believe it might be to high in natural sugar-although my husband obviously didn't have issues).

I tend not to get on here a lot because it is frustrating to me that people just "drink the cool-aid" without questioning it or the fact that cancer is so common now and never was decades ago.  Stands to reason one of the main differences is our food and how it has been changed over the decades.  People used to whisper the "C" word.  I will be 50 in May and when I was growing up I knew one a handful of people who had cancer and they were all older.  My grandmother had died of ovarian cancer.  Now... think about it.  I doubt there is anyone who doesn't know someone with cancer.  It's everywhere, it's common and now our children get it.

For starters, watch "Forks Over Knives" and maybe "Food Matters." They are good eye openers.  We need to be our own advocates.  We don't need  to assume what every doctor says is fact.  If we had listened to the many medical opinions we got back in the beginning of our journey my husband would likely be dead.  Instead he's alive and healthy.  My husband's only issues are side effects from previous brain radiation.

Hope that helps.  Healthy blessings.
