I lost my younger brother who was too young to die. I am in Australia
and he lived abroad. I had recurred brain cancer, radiotherapy and
chemotherapy didn't help. He was struggling numbness on half of his
body. He was expecting help. I googled to find alternative options where
I came across to restricted ketogenic diet. I suggested him to try this
and he went to that diet, we hired a dietitian. After two month MRI was
clear and he felt improvement. We don't know if it was from the
therapies or from the diet. He continued to work keeping the diet
although it was hard. After two month, he felt strong numbness on half
of his body. He went to doctor, doctors could do a surgery but there is
a big risk that may be paralyzed or die. We refused surgery, but during
1 week in hospital his health deteriorated, was struggling to walk. But
he said, brother I will keep the diet, not going for surgery. I was
still in Australia organizing my trip back to home. I was seeking a
doctor who can help him, found one in India. When I arrived he was
already paralyzed, having difficulty to talk and sleeping a lot. I was
too late, he was going to die soon. I talked a neurosurgeon in the
capital, he asked to bring him. We brought him to hospital, stayed for 3
days, and they said they can't operate him anymore. Unfortunately, every
time we visit hospital his health was going back more faster than at
home, I can't understand. Traditional treatment wasn't helping him.
Doctors said he is going to die in couple of days. They sent us back
home. I googled again and found a doctor who treats patients with
herbals. She gave some herbals which they may help. I refused drugs that
doctors prescribed, because wasn't helping. Herbals looked like helping
for some days, we saw a bit improvement. After ten days he experienced
strong epilepsy when my mum and brother's wife was looking after. They
couldn't help, it time before my another brother arrived and help. When
I arrived doctors were to help. We took him to local hospital, he spent
another 10 days with resuscitation. I cannot forgive myself, because
keto diet didn't help but might progressed tumor. I cannot forgive
myself coming home late to bring him to India, which might prolong his
life. I can't forgive myself for refusing drugs doctors prescribed which
might prevent epilepsy. I can't forget days he was expecting help,
struggling from pain, couldn't speak last words because of resuscitation
but hearing us telling lies that he will be fine.
