Josh posted a written blog soon after the startling video. He said he was contacting the oncologist and requesting Sarah’s date of treatment be moved up.
Sarah has been with her oncology team for 6 years (?) and her and Josh praise them. Josh said they are like family. Perhaps they put too much faith in their team. This is so sad.

The drs know how fast the cancer is moving so I can’t understand why their was no interim care before the 10th. The wait until the 10th for treatment is unconscionable. However, if that must be, the drs can’t just leave her alone until then. I have a sick feeling Sarah is leaving us soon.

When Sarah went off treatment the Pog family knew it was a risk and a risk worth taking. However, as Josh said per a response to a comment, the doctors were surprised about how fast the cancer moved. I can’t understand why the doctors did not know this. Also, didn’t we all feel Sarah’s migraines were cancer related? I don’t understand why the Pog family did not immediately consider (perhaps they did, but not on camera) that or why the drs were not contacted.
Palliative radiation is considered comfort measure though.
Josh said significant swelling in the brain has led to bleeding. The drs are administering steroids to reduce the swelling.

True. He didn't specify the intent.
I do think the next update will be the worst news. Like yourself I hope she goes peacefuly.
I do think Josh sometimes seems more interested in filming Sarah than getting her medical help. He carried on filming her answering questions when she was clearly having a seizure and was distressed. Why didn't he call a doctor?Josh said significant swelling in the brain has led to bleeding. The drs are administering steroids to reduce the swelling.
I love the POG family. I feel angry and want to shake everyone. This should not be Sarah’s time. So so very heartbreaking and sad.

I do wish he had stopped filming especially since that might be the last video of Sarah but he said in a previous video that the doctor said if she had another seizure that they were to wait an hour and if she was still not out of it then they were to go to the hospital.
I didn't realise that but I wish he'd stopped filming too.
He didn't know that at the time and would have been better comforting her, she was clearly distressed, than shoving a camera in her face!
Because the agreed protocol with the hospital was to wait an hour to see whether it resolved.
Yes, it is the 'protocol'. Sometimes tapering too quickly can cause inflammation to ramp up and cause a bleed. I understand that Ipilumbab & Nivolumab (the trial immunotherapy my husband was on which got him to NED for several months) does require no steroid use. Both treatments rev up the immune system, whilst steroids supress. Sarah had to be off steroids for treatment to have any chance of working. However, tapering too quickly can have detrimental effects. Its an absolute horrible horrible situation, and sadly it did play out on camera. Josh's mind will be all over the place and he will live wondering. My hope is that he never ever blames himself, ever.
