....because the particular type of cancer she had was one that had a tendency to recur in the other breast. That was the deciding factor in her decision. She lived ten years after initial diagnosis and surgery, and she refused chemo and radiation. When it finally did recur, she took both radiation and chemo because it had metatisized to other organs, but she succumbed after only three chemo treatments.
I'm telling you this to give you an example, not to make any suggestions of what to do......that choice is between her and the doctors.
When the cancer returned, it was never positively identified, even though three different labs attempted to do so. So, I don't even know for certain if the cancer she died from was breast cancer or not, but odds are it was.
She didn't use a particular CBD strain of cannabinoids but did use medical marijuana because of an article that stated it could help inhibit new tumors from forming. It also helped with the nausea from the chemo.
I'm so sorry you guys are faced with these decisions. Read up on the type of cancer she has and try to find others that have fought it. Participate in breast cancer forums, that is where we learned the most from other's experiences. She was a regular on BCANS and took solace in communicating with other breast cancer patients. You can learn a lot about what others have tried and I'm sure you will find suggestions or instances where they used other MM alternatives.
Also, it helps to relate your own experiences with others, and this board was a godsend to me while we were on the journey. You'll find a lot of good folks here to talk to. Sometimes you'll just want to vent because it can be frustrating, and we are here to lend an ear and commiserate. I wish you both good luck on your journey through this disease and I hope you enjoy many more years together.
