Cannabis in cancer therapy

Posted by eightball123 @eightball123, Mar 3 4:25pm

We are trying an RSO protocol for advanced prostate cancer BEFORE my husband starts conventional therapy. If anyone has insights or interests in this subject, we are open to discussion. Our choice to do this come from no clinical trials , but anecdotal evidence from a few people who have had excellent success. Since his prognosis was kind of grim, my husband thought this was worth a shot. Thankfully his oncologist agreed. He will be getting some radiation during the RSO protocol , mostly for pain.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

If you want to get your PSA down to the minimum and your testosterone down, you should consider the estradiol patch, The patch study, which was recently released shows that it reduces testosterone justice, effectively as ADT with many fewer side effects.

You don’t get hot flashes it’s not much better with your bone strength and it doesn’t reduce interest in sex like ADT. I know one guy has been on it for 22 years. It’s kept his cancer in control.

HIS PSA is awfully high and that can just cause metastasis to start to grow.

At this point we will try to target the cancer not the testosterone. At initial diagnosis the PSA was 140. It went up, in one month, to 168, now it is down to 102. If it continues to fall, we’ll stay on course. Our source information patient started with only 59, but his source patient started with 900. We are gambling, but we think this experiment deserves at least another month.

You should take a look at this site. It discusses what you’re trying to do, The results do not look positive. With a high PSA, you are very likely to have metastasis grow in multiple places.

FECO
We have just finished the first month of the RSO dosing protocol . It has been challenging. The first month is mainly about building one’s tolerance to the massive doses of THC that make up the next ywo months, but I am happy to say the PSA follow up to the first month showed a decrease from 168 to 102. We consider that enough of a decrease to continue with the maximum dose as described by the protocol. I think our oncologist will support this decision.

Yes, we know that there haven’t been clinical trials that support this protocol. Our only real information is from a few people, five to be exact, who beat the cancer. One of them we have been in regular contact with as we go through this. We know that we may be grasping at straws. At the same time we have read about others experience with ADT, chemo, radiation , and that doesn’t offer much of any guarantee of quality of life either, especially since at , best, it offers remission . We may end having to go that route. The worst case is that neither works. Our RSO “friend “ stopped his treatment in September with a PSA of 2.4, he still doses himself about once a month or two and gets regular tests. His most recent confined the decline down to .6. Maybe these five people are just medical anomalies, but by time you are approaching elderly you know you only have a short time left, why not try something bold?

@jeffmarc he had a high PSA and his cancer had metastasized. That’s why we decided to try a therapy that targeted cancer cells not testosterone
