Pot and Treatment
Does anyone smoke pot while on tx and if do you have any idea if it affects the tx drugs in anyway...you hear alot about not taking herbs and supplments and stuff...wouldnt pot be considered a herb?
I have eaten a whole box of power bars before and known to polish of 3 lbs of apples in one sitting....once i eat 10 lbs of patatoes in on meal...i know...i am a pig.
I smoked it during treatment and it helped a lot with sleep and nausea. The doctor gave me a script for it. Many times it depends on the doctor because there are mixed warnings of potential Fibrosis advancement, but has not been definitively proven.
Some people become paranoid, while others write successful Broadway plays.
Some presidents have also experimented with it, some president-wanna-be has admitted using it and he talks a lot.
So in conclusion, it makes you somehow think too much about your life and then straighten it out, write successful plays, and become president. So where is the harmful part?
Use extreme caution smoking it if you just bought a case of candy bars though.....

Some docs prescribe "pot" to help with appetitite and nausea. It should not affect treatment but the effects of long-term use on fibrosis progression is unclear. That said, not sure if they will prescribe pot to those who eat in excess of 1 pound of apples a day.
Sorry the slight correction... Virgin Coconut Oil...
Yes, that stuff is the best. In the mouth , on the skin , on the hair....

And, maybe that "autumn mist" was really brain fog?

Im goona be takin my riba with an excellent oil....COCONUT OIL...do a google on this one...best oil on the face of this planet.
Ya wanna know what i really think?...either we beat this thing or we dont...no matter what we really do...there are a few no nos ..no poision liquid...ALCOHOL...no iron..vit A..no laxatives with riba...FLAX cleans ya colon big time...ya want ya intestines to absorb as much as it can...to expenise to waste....its actually common sense...KEEP IT SIMPLE....greens and a good protien source.
I smoked some while I was on tx because it helped me keep my appetite up..I lost about 50 lbs and was close to being taken off tx. So it helped me eat, which helped with tx and my blood counts etc. But I still had viral breakthru at 20 weeks...do I believe it was from pot? No. I had a ROUGH time on tx and pot was one of the things that helped me get thru each week. Didn't smoke it before tx, don't smoke it now. I have read so much about pot smoking and tx and none of what I read agrees...some say no, some say it's okay.
Here in Oregon..my doc will give me a card for it if I want when I go back on tx. Hep C was just added to the list of acceptable illness's covered by the medical mj law here. My doc said pretty plainly that he couldn't tell me one way or the other, but that he could see the benefits of helping me eat. And said that it DOES help anyone else on chemo. So it would seem to be a personal choice. I chose to smoke it when I go back on tx next year. It is a relaxing thing for me..gotta be better for me than a bunch of meds.
