Really appreciate this. It's back to the hospital for me today as my other half is having another stent to drain his kidneys he just wants to come home. Tomorrow or the next day. He's so stubborn lol

So sorry to hear about your troubles, it must very difficult for both of you. Hard to say anything without sounding trite... but here goes... try to be strong, don't punish yourselves for feeling weak sometimes, look after one another and remember that it ain't over till it's over. Very best of luck.

Thank you so much. You're right. I also have depression and chronic fatigue syndrome not that that's cancer but it's hard.

So sorry to hear this. I am not sure if you have looked into Cannabis Oil at all? There is a great clinic in Spain I know about that someone recommended. Sending healing love.

Hi I did start to think about this. I will look more into it. Is it expensive? Just wondering though I know that's not everything. Ty for reminding. May be worth a try. Does smoking it have the same effect I wonder not that I'm condoning drugs.tyvm

Smoking comes with it's own issues especially if there is cancer in the lungs. Also for the right dose/strength it is much better if you can seek professional advice. There is information on making your own oil via Rick Simpson's website. I know in Spain it is legal and cheaper and the place is near Marbella. I personally take a CBD oil but for my immune system as I have a rare chronic blood cancer as well as bladder cancer. I will look into the clinic in Costa De Sol when and if the time arises for either of my conditions. I wish you all the best. Happy to help if I can but I am no expert :)

No that's fine ty

You're right about the smoking other half just so stubborn he gave up fags for a while now back on them after the bad news.

You can put stuff in a pipe for pain relief but it won't have the THC needed to reduce tumours etc.

Where is this Clinic exactly? I found one online in Barcelona & it's on FB called CBD Clinic...can't see much info from users. I am trying to find a reputable place to get Cannibas Oil. Have seen ick Simpson on youtube. Had Bladder Cancer in 2011, have already had chemo 3 years ago (2013) after having a right malignant lymph node removed. It turned up in my left ureter & 3 pelvic lymph nodes 2015 . I've had to have left kidney, ureter, bladder cuff, left ovary & all nodes that they could get to removed. Have just had radiotherapy on a left pelvic node that they couldn't get to as it enlarged late last year. Desperate to ty this as worried it will be on its way to lungs or bones, as I still feel tired & slight pains in right side. Don't think I can face chemo again as so ill from it.

Hi, so sorry to hear you have been through so much this clinic is in Costa De Sol and you need THC to shrink tumours so not sure if this clinic CBD does THC too? Yes I know the Rick Simpson method. I didn't realise he had bladder cancer though not sure what I thought he had, I guess I have passed on the information to people worse off than me, as I feel at stage 1 Ta I don't need the oil in THC form however, I am going to be taking a 16-20% CBD oil and see how I go after the next TURBT. I am also trying to clean eat even more than ever. I am avoiding chemo at all costs and I don't blame you from what I have seen. Happy to provide more information if you want to drop me a PM. x

I have cancer of the bladder, after surgery on the 30th December 2015 most of the Tumor was removed, but the bit that remained had gone through the bladder wall into the muscle throwing secondaries up into the lungs the comparison scan in September looking at the June Scan showed the lung cancer to be stable. I had a scan on Friday past and will have about 3-4 weeks wait for the results.I was told that the Cancer "will be back at some stage" the doctor did not go further with that. I have a great faith in God and because of that I have a great peace resting over me, keep a positive spirit, I know that can be difficult in your circumstances, we are praying for you.

Poor things. I wish you comfort and hope you can get through this terrible time. I am the one with cancer but it's my husband who suffers greatly as he feels so helpless.
