Sleep, Diet, Exercise, Avoid Injury (inflammation), Clean Environment are the recommendations to reduce cancer risk. Well, duh. I congratulate the survivor and her energy and ambition, but those five are pretty generic recommendations. I'm also a brain tumor survivor, only 7 years now, but mine was grade IV, with recurrence all but guaranteed. I've found that by smoking cannabis, I've been able to avoid seizures and recurrence. I'm also in the best physical condition of my athletic life at 59 years old. I walk 18 holes of golf over a hundred times a year, and play better than most amateurs. The side effect is the intoxication, which isn't enough to affect any of my functioning, including public address and game announcer at my local high school for football and basketball games. I have a good quality of life despite expectations being pretty dismal when I was diagnosed; GBM right temporal lobe, median life expectancy 16 months. I didn't consider awake surgery, did standard care at UCSF, and now collect disability. I'm impressed with your energy to do all your work, especially having endured two brain surgeries. I felt about 30 years older after my surgery and sleep more than I used to. Afternoon naps are common.
