Stopping Chemoimmunotherapy Treatments

Thanks for your response. My husband does not have a dnr so he is full code. Hospice did not say he had to be dnr for them to be involved, just let us know that if he goes into cardiac arrest and I have to call an ambulance that then their services will be done. But if he lives through that then we can reapply. A friend of ours got him some RSO oil from her medical marijuana dispensary. He did not follow the directions and was stoned out of his mind for 3 days. I thought he was dying until my son came and saw him and told me that my husband was just really high. I told my friend to not get him anymore even if he calls and asks. In fact, he has abused his pain meds since being with hospice so they are only giving him a 3 day supply of his meds at a time. He is not happy but he did not say anything to her. He is not feeling well today and very well may be in withdrawal. I am pretty naive when it comes to addiction but he has abused his pain meds for years. So he will need to take his meds the right way from now on. He does have nausea medicine but refuses to take it. So that is on him.

I’m sorry he’s having such a hard time. Maybe cut the dosage down on the oil. Did your friend ask the dispensary for what he needs they would need it for? Like pain, nausea, etc.? (Not that it’s for a friend). CBD oil is usually used for pain but also helps with other symptoms. Depending on your state on what your options are. It’s trial and error on the dosage and the symptoms on what he would take. All this is still new to me; I’m still learning and researching but the state I’m in is very limited. I will keep him and your family in my prayers.

Hospice is much different here. They wouldn’t discuss anything with me unless I had a DNR.
But “maybe” adjusting his dosage will help him. Also it’s the THC that makes people high; CBD will not. But for it to work better, there needs to be at least a fraction of THC in with the CBD; not enough for him to notice. You can start at low doses and build up until you find the right dosage for him. Please don’t give up on it. I haven’t spoken to anyone that it didn’t help. By him getting his own card and you add on as someone who can buy for him, the doctor he sees to get his card can tell him what he needs and how much.
I don’t know if any of this helps. You may already know it; I didn’t know anything about it until the cancer and I didn’t think seriously about it until the hospital nurses and the cancer center suggested it.
One last opinion: I’m 70 years old and if they told me something was addictive, I wouldn’t care as long as it worked. But even though there may be a warning about addiction on the THC, I believe they have to put that on there. Through all my research, never read or talk to anyone that it is addictive.
There are about 500 natural ingredients in the marijuana plant and they are all medicinal; one will even kill cancer cells. I can’t remember which part(s) it is. I can’t get it where I live. But the pharmacy manufacturers don’t want that; too much money made for them to treat cancer…. not cure.
May God bless you all every moment in time.

THC gummies help or cannabis vape or just plain old medical marijuana for the weight lose.. premier protein shakes also help, I also had 7 rounds of taxol and carboplaten and 30 rounds of radiation for a 3 cm tumor iny upper right lung, I had almond no side effects, except for hair thinning by the 5th chemo, I'm surprised it all didn't fall out, I actually felt better, but then started Imfizi, immuno therapy and and things seem to start to get worse as far as shortness of breath and weight loss, I was actually gaining weight on chemo, because of the steroids they mixed it with.. maybe he just needs to take a break.. that's okay..I'm praying for you..I keep going to the treatments for the other people in my life that care about me and depend on me.. cancer sucks..it changes everything in your life
.you no longer make long range plans on your life, because you never know
