Yes, I attended a seminar last week. I am in my fact finding stage. I am 1 yr MBC, 2 months dose dense chemo, currently finished cycle 10 Ibrance, letrozole. NED since Aug 2017. I want to be prepared when things are not so good. Keep options open.
What would the goal be for using marijuana?
I use it for anxiety and pain. I sleep like a baby with it and feel so much better in the morning.
Did the doctor give you a script, or did you have to apply for a license?
Several people in the support group I attend have used it for pain relief and help with sleeping. I am also in the fact finding phase. I am so worried about opiate dependency that I’d like other options. I had asked my oncologist his thoughts and he said he was fine with it as long as you didn’t smoke it.
Not smoke it? U mean just do the CBD oil?
Why did he say not to smoke it?
He said it would weaken my lungs
Its medical marijuana , its not addictive.
Someone suggested that to me. But it's not legalized in my state. I sure would like to give it a trial. I just do not know how to get it. Anyone with info how to get it?
I use the oil that is equal in thc and cbd so you get relief from pain n can sleep better but no high . There are other oils that have a higher thc which give you a bit of a high if need be . I have fibromyalgia and sofas it on any tough drugs yet ( awaiting scan results ) .it was the only thing that helped.
How much do you take. I’m having a hard time getting to sleep and I’d like to get off ambien
Hi you have to play with the dosage . I started low but upped it to .7 or. .8 ml I also take melatonin because I always have with my tamoxifin. I haven't had to change meds yet as this is a new diagnosis for me . I have been taking the medical marijuana for fibromyalgia pain , anxiety and sleep since October and it's the only thing that helps. I hope this helps you
Thank you. I’ve got to get some sleep! Melatonin doesn’t do anything for me. I tried Aleve PM and it gave me a horrible headache.
It has amazing qualities though this is not one I'm doing. There is an amazing MD in Bellevue WA who works w it a lot. And there is a video series about using it for cancer. I'll look for the contract information for you.
Actually, I do a little because I extract it into coconut oil and add it to my coffee each morning. I believe in it but I work full time and require a clear head.
I also have friends who use this same mixture topically over aching bones. They say it is the only thing that alleviates their pain.
TruthisGreat, where can i watch the video. Mikki
Cannabis is great for pain and nausea but it is also curative when you have the right protocol. Here is a doctor that several friends are seeing. One just did a SKYPE appointment with him. He is an MD. sagemed.co/sunil
My gynecologist has told me that she's had patients get good symptom relief with marijuana. I haven't tried it myself and the law here in Michigan is not easy to navigate. It was legalized by referendum but I suspect that the legislature didn't approve and made the rules for obtaining it difficult. To get a mm card, we have to know who we will buy it from and those selling it are quite limited in how much they are allowed to have and the number of people they can sell to! How in the world can an old lady with major health problems find out how and where to get it! Alot of communities ban selling it. My husband is a retired police officer and can't pick it up for me. Crazy!
Find a young person. A millennial can get it for you. Most don't mind and happy to be of service. Get some bud, make some butter in a crock pot, make cookies, eat a little bite til you know how it feels. There are videos on YouTube. It helps me sleep, eases my pain. Eased me off morphine.
I have to do it legally! My husband is a cop. To get a MM card in MI, besides my doctor's signature, I have to know where I am going to purchase the MM and can only buy it from one "caretaker", the totally absurd term they used in the law for sellers of MM! And those are limited in the number of patients that they can sell to. Really crazy.
Very sad. Hang in there. This is changing nationally quickly. There is recognition that this herb provides relief with out side effects. Also I think CBD oil is legal where you are. Lots of benefits, easily procured. I buy CBD gummies which help a lot.
Sister/Warrior : God surely is my/your advocate, fighting on my/our behalf, and,I am the
runner up. I believe this site was created to empower, encourage, educate, elevate, and
enable warriors/sisters to navigate this worldly life journey with as much ease in the difficult
complexities of battling and winning the war against this disease. I do believe in the power
of Gods green earth herbs, oils, and supplements. I also believe God created so many herbs
supplements we don't even know, that can heal all/any ailment for a minimal cost.
Marijuana/cannabis,Mary-Jane,etc. can be used in so many ways, in oils, in creams, in pill
form,and in powders to put in anything we ingest to heal and alleviate pain. The part that
creates feelings of being high, buzzed etc. can be, and usually is removed for medical grade
marijuana. Their are some people who want to legalize marijuana to get high, and or make
money. These same people will sell marijuana laced with synthetic chemicals to get people
high, and addicted to what they are selling .There are people in this community, and world
wide who have a great need for medical grade marijuana. I had a friend who used medical
grade marijuana in pill form prescribed by her doctor for the pain of aggressive chemo,
insomnia, and her need to increase her appetite to keep her weight up, so that her doctor
wouldn't put her on steroids. This was 5 years ago. I wish medical marijuana was available
for me 10 years ago when I went through aggressive chemotherapy, but I thank God medical
marijuana is becoming available in almost all America, and I pray it will be available for those
in need world wide Amen XoXoXoXoXo Keep up the fight WARRIOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRS
