I had Bowel cancer op 2 years ago, and I have between on chemo since then (Two different types, ) and none of them are working.

After my latest scan, I have been given the option of going to Cambridge, for some different type of treatment.

Has anyone else been there ?

Sorry to hear that the chemo hasn't worked as I am about to start chemo very soon as the Bowel cancer that I had removed last year has now gone to rib, scapula, side wall pelvis , pub us rami, and most seriously my liver . If they are talking about Cambridge , what is Cambridge going to offer . Email your Specialist nurse to find out . You may being offered either magic bullet or imunotherapy . That's your next question . So get into it . You should have asked what's at Cambridge so get into it . Trust you're keeping well in between the chemo .keep asking questions . Take someone with you to help asking , if that's what it takes . Sometimes you're overwhelmed with all the science so take someone who will help you . I have Neuro endocrine tumours . What sort of cancer have you got ? Hope you don't wait too long for this appointment as well .

Would you consider alternative options such as cannabis oil?

David hibbutt tried it and it seemed to work, but recently he died, so my conclusion is it does not work !

I have breast cancer. I initially started taking it for nausea and pain, which worked great. Now I'm hoping to eradicate the cancer, or at least stop it in its tracks. It works different for different people.

I hope it works for you.

Do you buy it ready to use or cook it yourself, so to speak ?
