Cindy- I mentioned all these things because I wanted to make the point, not because of anything that you wrote. I just spurred me to write! And I am sorry that I gave the wrong impression myself. I am so afraid of wrong terms and people believing what their minds want them too. Evaluating all options is key to getting the right treatments, but as you write, they often fail or have serious side effects and are not adequate and additional options need to be considered. You certainly did not show any disrespect, perhaps I should have asked questions instead of diving right in. xxoo

..Merry......perhaps I over reacted a bit myself and I apologize. My husband's cancer is unusual because they cannot determine a primary source and they told us he wouldn't be here for the holidays but we just returned from a doctor visit and he is actually so much better. We are thankful and grateful for that. We were offered radiation and it was taken off the table, we were offered surgery and it was taken off the table, we were offered chemo but since they don't know the cancer type it would be multiple chemo drugs and they felt he wouldn't be able to tolerate treatment. There are some very rare cases where cancer appears and then goes away (very rare) and this could be one of those cases or this may advance to something they can finally identify (most likely) or perhaps the one remaining option we have (CBD and THC) may hold it off or reverse it. Don't know and won't know until we continue on the journey. I suppose there is an element of feeling that we are at least doing something with the CBD/THC, makes us feel like we're not just sitting here waiting for my husband to die (?). Our on going joke with our oncology team is that if the CBD/THC works then they can all write a good medical paper on it (although it won't be conclusive either because there it is still too early and there are no longitudinal studies on whether and how this might work.)
