Caryn,
I love the tattoo, it's beautiful!! I have a sun on my back with 3 of my kiddos names, my last little guy was a total surprise baby, so trying to find room for him! And of course, waiting for approval to be able to do it from MO. I think you chose well!!

I also live in Colorado and wanted to chime in about the cannabis oil. There are two different options. CBD oil has been proven to fight cancer cells among other added benefitsand is non-psychoactive which means it does not get you high. THC oil is psychoactive and does get you high. I actually like to use both (one for fighting cancer and one to help my mood) so I usually do one drop of THC oil and 10 drops of CBD daily. My friend manufactures CBD oil and helps me understand effective use. It sounds like legalization could be coming to other states very soon!

josalive, where can I get it? Should I just go get my red card

Thanks Josalive I've asked at the dispensary here in Vancouver and every time I get a new vial it seems to be different. Now I have some more ammunition for a discussion thanks.

On the topic of medical marijuana, which is legal in California, my son had sent me this chart when I was dealing with some serious pain over the summer. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, but it's good info' to know.

Caryn...beautiful tattoo...and I love that it's where you can see it always. Also fun to educate your little kiddos about its meaning for you. They thought you were fabulous before :-)

Wendy, congrats to you on the good news.
Caryn, nice tattoo. Thanks for sharing.
Josalive, I'm in Colorado, too, and very interested in using the CBD oil at some point. I want to learn as much as possible about it, so thanks for sharing! What does it cost?

Bjsmiller, I just went to the dispensary yesterday. I purchased a three part CBD one part THC. As well as many other CBD products. The staff was very knowledgeable on our diagnosis and how to medicate. I spent a grand total of $200. But I got a ton of different products. The CBD-THC was $65 I hope that helps some. Love and hugs

HI Chelle, thanks for the info on the CBD/THC products and the cost which I think really isn't too bad. How did your Zometa infusion go? I'll be starting Zometa tomorrow with my 5th TCHP treatment. Love and hugs to you.

I feel like I only have short bursts of time to drop by bco lately. The "normal" life can be a whirlwind. Work is very busy as I am piloting two math programs this year, am an English language arts teacher leader, and have a challenging (but great) group of students. My father has been ill and in and out of the hospital, my son in laws father is really, really ill and my dogs are too needy! Thank,you all for the compliments on the tattoo. I really love it too, although it's at the peeling stage and is very itchy but scratching it is forbidden.
Divine, a brand new tattoo looks fresh and vibrant. After 5-7 days, it peels like a sunburn, so looks flaky and a bit faded. After all the flaking and peeling it looks great again.
Best wishes to all!

Deanna, forgot to thank you for posting the cannabis chart! Very helpful.

Yes Deana, thanks for that. Pretty interesting. My son also has been persuading me to look into this for tumor suppression. Our kids amaze me...

I don't get it. My doctor prescribed THC in the form of Maritol. If you are willing to prescribe THC, why not add one of those tumor suppression drugs. Geez.

Very good question Dune...

Pharmaceutical companies won't make money off the real thing since it's a plant that anyone can grow

I too need to start researching this avenue as last night I had a massive anxiety meltdown. Not sure what happened except maybe too much time online and suddenly the bottom just fell out. Time to admit I may need some help.

I am glad I am not the only one that happens too !! Hugs !!

There's actually a fairly complete article on medical marijuan in the Summer 2015 issue of CURE Magazine that I came across in my onc's office today. I haven't read much of it yet, but surprisingly, on first glance, it looks quite open to its potential, simply stating that there haven't been many studies to prove of disprove the claims.
Here's the article: http://www.curetoday.com/publications/cure/2015/su...

There are also several threads on the alternative and complementary forums regarding medical marijuana in various forms. Yes, it is a plant that anyone can grow, however a pharmaceutical company can produce and patent active ingredients in various forms or various delivery systems. Although, state by state varying degrees of legality exist, on a federal level it is still illegal. When enough scientific research exists (not only efficacy, but strengths and dosing standards) and if/when the federal government changes the legal status, I feel quite certain that pharmaceutical companies will get into the game.
