Hi, my son was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma at the end of October, he’s 21. It’s inoperable. He has just had a biopsy which told us it’s at least stage 3, and we should get more results shortly. He has started radiotherapy and starts chemo on Monday. He’s cut all sugar from his diet (except natural sugars) and is taking many supplements. We are doing lots of reading but there’s conflicting advice. Does anyone have supplements or diet plans that work for them that they could share please? Or things to definitely avoid?
Thank you
