<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was diagnosed with Astrocytoma grade 2 in January 2014 via biopsy, then had 98 removed April 2014. Since then I have had two seizures while not on any medication, I am now on Keppra 500 mg twice a day. I have had several doctors 3 here in Tennessee and 2 in Illinois tell me my life expectancy is 4 years and pneumonia would be the cause of my death. I guess my question is, how true is that? January will be 4 years, should I start planning my funeral? Any homeopathic approach to my condition would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have had a lot of people ask If I smoke Marijuana or use CBD. I do not smoke Marijuana and know nothing about CBD.  <response>: Thanks for contacting with your health concern1. Grade II astrocyte diffuse astrocyte are slow growing brain tumor, but recurrence is possible even after treatment and since they are diffuse which means it does not have well-defined edges which make it difficult to remove completely consult a Neurosurgeon for the second opinion2. The average survival time after surgery is 6-8 years. More than 40 of people live more than 10 years.3. Cannabidiol CBD oil is a natural, non-psychotropic concentrate extracted from hemp and although is used in the treatment of astrocyte since it is not an approvedaccepted treatment thus if you want to use it your attending Physician must be told about the same. you may also look for CBD liquidcapsulestinctureGum4. As this type of tumor can change quickly from grade II to grade III malignant form thus remain under constant supervision, observation and guidance of Neurosurgeon and for any alternative approach kindly let him know to prevent any Chat Doctor.
