Default colon cancer
My Dad has contracted colon cancer and is unable to keep anything on his stomach. This is keeping him from taking treatments of chemo and radiation. I was told that marijuana takes the nausea away and increases appetite. Is this true or false. Also does it help with the pain he is experiencing from surgery.
He is 73 years old and we have now been told that he has spots on his liver and lungs. At this point all we want is for him to be able to wake up and be comfortable enough to enjoy what life he has left. Are we barking up the wrong tree or what?

Kerry

looks like you have to take a risk, not much of one though. http://norml.com/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4531


Georgia has no medical program. looks like you have to find a "friend". or grow your own, but that takes months.

It depends on the individual. An ounce will last me three to four weeks, but I don't have cancer and I'm not undergoing chemo or radiation therapy. That's about a gram a day, by the way.

Are you in need of supporting science for your father or his doctor?

Wink Good Luck to your dad.
Hello Kerry ,
My dad died from colon cancer in 97,He contracted it through his work photographing the first Atom bomb from a helicopter.Exposure to radiation.He was a retired USAF officer,Yet he would appreciate the herb I left lying around.It would help his appetite to want to eat.

1 ounce should last your pops atleast 1 month. I dont see any new smoker using more than a gram per day.
