I was on a two week rolling programme getting my chemo one day every fortnight - which isn't so bad/brutal - still feels like shit though. Smoking kept me sane if nothing else - I used to blaze a big one down before my 8 hour stint on the drips. It helped me sleep, and make all the shite I ended up watching on tv more bearable.
And yeah, pretty sure the 'go anywhere, kill everything' chemo saved my life. nasty horrible drug that it is :wink:

know what you mean twich, sadly :( All I'd say is give any alternatives you want a try, you never know, but to turn yr back on the tried and tested (no matter how ill they make you) is madness.

I'm glad people are pointing out that Cannabis Oil did NOT, in fact cure this child, it was other medicines/treatments that did so, and if the cannabis oil helped the child too, that's GREAT!

However, it does the legalization movement a huge dis-service when we pretend that cannabis has magical healing properties. Just because high concentrations of cannabis products can kill something in a pietrie dish, doesn't make it a viable treatment. A pietrie dish filled with glass cleaner is going to kill cancer cells too - are you going to drink a bottle of it to cure your cancer?

I love cannabis. I smoke it every day. I wish it were legal, and that everyone had easy access to it, everywhere. But come on guys, it's not a magical cure-all, and there is no huge worldwide conspiracy to keep those magic, disease curing benefits from us!
Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

Sorry cat, but that makes me smile :lol: ...the thought of yer man hogging all yer medicine :lol:
If you dont mind me asking...how tough was the Chemo on you? and did pot help you're nausia? ( assuming you used pot mind :lol: )
They gave me real powerful anti-nausea drugs. It was hard to smoke during that time, but I really didnt experince any nausea. I was grateful when friends would send us the stuff though because having a spouse witness you going thru all this is just as hard on them. Jim was very good to me during that horrible time. As far as Chemo goes, it sucked. I had 8 treatments total. I shaved my head before I lost my hair because I didnt want to experience it falling out. I had no energy to go out or to the gym. But it saved me. If they told me well it may prolong you life a while, I would of said No chemo. I am heading to amsterdam. see ya. At this point I would cash in all my retirement money and head over there. lol
