BATTLING THE TUMOR FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES
From day one when I was first diagnosed with the GBM in 2000, and over the 16 years fighting the brain tumor; I’ve consistently gone beyond the standard treatments by fighting the tumor from many additional angles. Over time following other long term brain tumor survivors it seems that most also go beyond just the surgery, radiation and chemo.
Batting the tumor from many angles has begun to be called the “cocktail” approach; which has begun to be looked into by more research and followed by more doctors. Recently a video was put together about Ben Williams, a long term GBM survivor; that talks about this approach.

There are beginning to be more and more web pages covering this topic too. Additionally, Recently there has been a book published that addresses this topic, called “Radical Remission – the Nine Key Factors That Can Make a Real Difference – Surviving Cancer Against All Odds”, by Kelly A. Turner, Ph.D. What I’ve mostly seen out there is that each person seems to puts together their own “cocktail”, based on their interest, research they have found, what people have told them about, what their doctor supports, and what personally appeals to them.
My personal “cocktail” approach seems to fit into six groups. Starting with the standard treatments, the adding in; boosting an immune system, affecting the metabolism, using natural alternatives, adding in “off label” medications, and lastly the importance of attitude.
