Brother diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer

I was diagnosed with stage 4 colo-rectal cancer in 2021. Spread to my liver, I have nodules on my lungs but they didn't grow or change until recently. It's a HARD battle! Hopefully, he isn't underweight going into chemo. I was already severely malnourished, so that was hard. But... what helped me with all the chemo meds (the take-home pump especially) and insomnia is medic. marijuana. It helped with everything. I've had (I think) 14 rounds of chemo, 4 rounds of proton radiation (SOOOO COOL), and 3 major surgeries and about 7 small ones and ablations. I honestly feel pretty good most days, considering... Good luck to your brother and you stay strong too! I've watched people I love burn out trying to keep up and handle it all.

Hi Cheyna23, one of the first things my brother did after his diagnosis was get his medical marijuana card. He does do the gummies and they definitely help. You stay strong 💪 too. You are an inspiration.
