Endomondo

I have started to work out and found a real inspiration. Endomondo. A very good app for iPhone and other smartphones that tracks where you run and creates a workout calendar for you. You can also add friends and compare workouts. The coolest thing is that you can send your friends peptalks while they are running. This is an app that has made running and cycling more fun and it always pushes me to go further than before. Very good when you try to get in shape.

Sorry

Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. I have been sick from work again and it has been kind of hard. I will come back with more soon.

Milk

I stopped drinking milk from cows, I drink rice milk and wheat milk instead. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not. According to my Indian friend it is a very good idea, but he is a vegan. What do you think? Is cow milk always healthy? Please comment.

I stopped drinking

Since I still have seizures and want to cut down on medicine I have now decided to stop drinking alcohol for a while and see how it works. This past year I have been drinking a lot less than what I used to so it will not be that difficult. My friends still drink like teenagers, but I have learned to keep it down because of my medicine. I feel good guys, but not when you have to get drunk to tell me that you care about me.

Green Tea

I stopped drinking coffee in november 2010. It gave me headache for two days, but after that I am fine. My Indian friend R said that I should stop drinking coffee because of my tumor in the head. Since then I have stopped drinking coffee and Coke and I drink green tea instead. Green tea has a very positive effect on all kinds of cancer according to research. There is caffeine in green tea too, but not as much as in coffee.

A new seizure

I had a new seizure today. They keep coming back now. If they don't slow down it will be hard for me to cut down on the Keppra medicine. They make me feel sick again even though I am back at work 100%.

At the hospital

I went to the hospital again yesterday to talk about my dose of the Keppra medicine. I hope to cut down the dose from 2000mg per day to 1000mg, but the doctor wanted me to use 2000 for two more months. One of the side effects from Keppra is aggression and people around me can feel that from time to time unfortunately. I am really looking forward to reduce the dose and hopefully not have more seizures. My last seizures was August 6th, July 30th and June 23rd.

Garlic

I eat garlic every morning, it is a really good vegetable to prevent cancer and keep it away. I first thought that it would make me stink, but i cut a clove in smaller pieces and swallow it whole. It works fine.

Wikipedia says:

"Garlic is used to prevent certain types of cancer, including stomach and colon cancers. In fact, countries where garlic is consumed in higher amounts, because of traditional cuisine, have been found to have a lower prevalence of cancer."

Dr. David Servan-Schreiber is dead

It just came to my attention that Dr. David Servan-Schreiber passed away on July 24th this year. He was 50 and had cancer in his brain for 20 years and wrote the book "Anticancer: a new way of life." This book has been a real inspiration to me and I have already read it twice this last year. If you have cancer or want to learn how to avoid it read this book. I have tumors in my head and I follow many of Davids tips every day to postpone the date when it becomes cancer.  I never knew David but his death feels like a loss to me. Rest in peace.

Biking

I try to get in shape and one of the things I have started doing is biking to work. I took my 15 year old Kona Cindercone and started last week. It was painful and takes me about half an hour to get home. Today I can feel that my shape is better after last week and a weekend of resting. I think it is important to get in shape and get healthy. One day my brain tumor will develop into cancer and I will be fighting it with my whole body.

Seizures

I still have seizures. Last night i had a seizure on the couch. Seizures are the reason why we found the tumors in the first place and they have been reduced since i started on Keppra and after my last operation. I take 1000mg Keppra in the morning and 1000 at night. I used to have one seizure every day, but now there can be several weeks in between. It is a very strange feeling and it usually happens when I am lying down. I am not allowed to drive a car anymore because of this. That sucks!

My Weekend Breakfast

For breakfast in the weekends I eat porridge of millet. The porridge itself does not have much taste so I add fruits like mango, banana and apple. On top i put goji berries and hemp seeds which are also very healthy and then rice milk around. Very good!

You can also use: dates, dried peach, nuts, berries and many other fruits on top.

My Morning Routine

This is how i start every day:
Shower and brush my teeth.
Do meditation and yoga.
Take a Keppra pill.
Insert a Fragmin syringe.
Eat a whole garlic clove.
Eat turmeric and pomegranate pills.
Eat a breakfast of organic cereal with goji berries, hemp seeds and rice milk on.
Brush my teeth again.
Bike to work

My First Entry

I have brain tumor, but I also have a great life. In my brain there are two tumors that we discovered July 30th 2010. I have had two surgeries and today I am feeling fine and back in my job 100%. The tumors are of the type astrocytoma grade 2. I want to use this blog to talk about the many things I have learned, but also about living like before.
