Any Stories on THC Oil (Cannabis Oil) Curing Cancer
My wife was diagnosed with Stage 3C, Grade 3 breast cancer in May 2016. She was 7 weeks pregnant with twins at the time with a hormone sensitive cancer. She did 4 out of 8 sessions of chemo in 5 months but stopped due to the impact it was having on her pregnancy. She gave birth to beautiful healthy twins on the 1st of February 2017. She was put on Tamoxifen but only did it for a month before quitting her treatment.
Fast-forward to 4 weeks back, she was told that her cancer had reappeared in both of her armpits, chestwall and there was an untested lump on her kneck. We have to come back in for a CT scan but doctors say that it is quite serious. We are not sure what grade or stage it is, we are really confused.
She is now on THC Oil, she takes 3 - 5 capsules a day but should be on 8 based on the recommendation of her supplier who is a 5 year Stage IV survivor. She claims to not have done chemo or radiation.(Diet and THC Oil)
The THC oil gives my wife green fever and she often throws up or has severe panic attacks. Despite all of this, we have been advised to increase the dosage. My wife is eating healthy, uses Tamoxifen, Apricot Kernels and a combination of CBD and THC Oil.
We don't know how long she has, we need longer than a few months because we have 4 kids under the age of four. I know I am not explaining this correctly but I am desparate to help her.

I am so sorry to hear about your wife ... did you get result of CT scan ? if it was a clear CT then she must b stage 3 and now a day stage 3 is very much treatable and in some cases you can say curable

My heart goes out to your wife and family. I personally have no stories of THC/CBD curing cancer but I’m sure if you search the internet, they’re there. However, anecdotes may be all,you find. I am certainly not putting downTHC/CBD use. I have been using cannabis for a while, but strictly for relief from medication side effects. Best wishes

The CT scan found a spec on her liver and in her bones. They said the test was inconclusive so she did a PET scan last week. We are getting the results on the 7th of November.

So sorry for your wife. Praying for all of you. I don’t know any success stories either. In fact Idk of anyone who has used THC/CBD. I do have a friend who is Stage IV BC and has been for several years. There are multiple stories on this website from Stage IV ladies who are still doing okay after many years.
Keep the faith and keep us posted.

Hi, I'm terribly sorry to hear this. Is she improving with the THC oil? Here are some stories compiled of people using THC to successfully put cancer back into remission: medium.com/@ericgeisterfer/23-people-who-beat-cancer-using-cannabis-oil-only-c1b285e31d62

sounds like the THC is not treating your wife so well!
Marijuana can cause panic attacks and vomiting. I’ve seen it over many many years of recreational usage. Just because it’s medically legal doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone.
Has your wife spoken to a doctor or pharmacist that specializes in medical marijuana?
I do not like the anxiety and panic attack effects (which can make me quite nauseous) of marijuana so I worked it out with my palliative care oncologist and the medical marijuana pharmacist to figure out the best amount/type/administration of medical marijuana that has the least side effects.
And I take it to deal with the side effects of the treatments. I would love it if it cured cancer but right now, there is no true evidence that I have found of this being accurate. There are a lot of anecdotal stories out there. But when you read into the fine print, there’s ALWAYS more to the story.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to update you on her current condition. So my wife went on a veg only diet and we bought a great bunch of superfoods and made smoothies. She lost so much weight during this time as she was not eating enough, she looked quite skeletal in fact. She was also on hormone pills (Tamoxifen). When the results of the pet scan came back, they found out that two our of the three tumours she had on her chest (one in the underarm) had disappeared. The one remaining under her arm was slowly shrinking. This was great news at the time since she was scheduled for surgery, chemo and radiation treatment. Her doctor advise that only surgery was needed.
My wife stopped her diet and got off her cannibus programme, she unfortunately her other another tumour came back. I am not too sure if it was cased by her not continuing with her cancer protocol. The tumour under her arm is the size of a chic-pea and the other on her chest is the size of two rice grains. She has been drinking alcohol, occasionally and eating meats and junk food. She also suffers from depression and her depression has spiralled out of control, she has yet to see a specialist about her depression and even tried to commit suicide, it's been a very traumatic experiences for all of us but I think the depression is related to issues in her past.
She is however in good spirits and enjoying life but I hope she goes back on her cancer protocol. I think that I pushed her too hard in fear of losing her during the time she was said to have Stage IV cancer. So I am taking it one day at a time but I believe that it will work for her body and fear for the worst if she continues like this. Thank you for all your support, I will keep you updated.

hi wyngaart - if you can share your wife’s results with folks on these boards, you will most definitely receive a ton of information. It is difficult to decipher exactly what is happening based on what you have written.
The struggle is that there are many people being “followed” who do only conventional medicine. Some live. and some die. There’s many people people being “followed” who are using both conventional and alternative (like me! I use both!) and some live and some die. There are folks using only alternative and those who are folllowed have a high rate of death. Those who aren’t followed (and we do not know how many there are out there) we do not have proper information to be able to speak from. So basically - it’s a crab shoot of Russian roulette.
What I can tell you is that I’ve been incredibly healthy my whole life and used cannabis on and off since I was a teenager. I still have cancer. I was diagnosed age 41 with metastatic breast cancer. Total shock for me and all those who know me. Your wife needs to enjoy life in the wake of the most stressful diagnosis a person can receive. And your support of her and the choices she makes for herself is the upmost support you can give her.

Hello
first time i have responed to a post--i have done considerable resesarch, lecturing/consulting etc.. over a 23 yr period regarding nutritional and integrated oncology and cutting edge research, but more importantly medical oncologists who think outside the box..I have identified only a handful in the country who are presenting their research/case histories to the ASCO anual cancer/medical conferences--one now in january, 2019 in san francisco, ca.
I have identified 2 such medical oncologists in seattle, for example, the new book by nick chen md phd rx for hope distinguishes chen md as a medical oncologist with excellent case histories demonstrating unprecedented success in stage 4 cancer patients. best of luck, you can respond to me and/ or read the short book by chen. he is one example of a current physician with a proven and documented track record--there are others.

I can only attest to a good friend of mine who went juicing and CBD oil. She did have lumpectomy but refused all other treatments. She was stage IIb. She did her diet of juicing for 2 years. Then went on semi-normal diet, but eating only organic, no refined sugars, no fried food, pretty much Mediterranean diet.But still taking CBD oil. She's still NED 2 years later.
