This morning we're packing up and heading out for Vegas for the weekend. Seems I'm traveling three times as much as before I got sick! WTF! But here's the take-away....


I'm UP -- FEELING GOOD -- not fearful of leaving the house and feeling bad... because I feel NORMAL!


Friends are playing this weekend and we intend to party like it's 1999....


I'm dosing the THC/CBD oil at .3 Ml each one time now - just before I go to bed. This is getting the meds in without the stone - because I'm sleeping. And I'm sleeping really really well! For the first time this morning --- I noticed something "else" has changed for me since the Meds..... I used to drink a ton of plain tonic... the quinine helped with my "jimmy legs" I used to get at night. I realized this morning I've not had them at all. Hadn't even thought about 'em.

Greg,

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I am glad you are still here and fighting like a Rock Star. I've shared your story with a bunch of people and I hope we call all learn something from this and share this thread with friends.

Steamed white rice & soy sauce will also help with the excess oil in your diet it kinda firms things up and slow digestion down (buy it from your local Chinese take out).

... and since your back on the Mountain Bike you should look at a 4'' Fat Tire bike. It's like being a kid again and they are so much fun.

Brian,

Thank you for sharing your story and I will add you to my prayer list as I didn't know you were sick and keep up the fight. It's a tough one but my secret was not to let it own me.


Side note: Peppermint Tea works wonders for stomach issue's. It's to bad Peppermint Ice cream doesn't have the same benefit because it sure does taste much better.

Like others have said, I am sorry to hear this news. I am inspired by your attitude, and how you are dealing with it. I have always been impressed with the amount you have helped with the investing thread(it has been a life changer for many). I hope you have continued success with the THC treatment. Best of wishes to you! With any luck I will bump into you at SEMA 2016 and I can thank you for your contributions in person.

mr weld,although i don't know you except from what i read on this forum its sad to learn about your condition.you are lucky to have the support you have here and at home.you truly HAVE everything (pun intended).good luck with your recovery.

I was talking to my wife about this tonight and she informed me that her cousin has a cancerous brain tumor. Guy is only 29. Cancer sucks.

Awesome read Greg. Its hard not to get emotional reading this and although we don't talk on a regular basis other than SEMA and on the board, it feels like one of my closest friends has gone through hell and beat all the odds. Keep hanging on to that tiger by the tail and never let go.

Greg, the reporter in the news story said the oil doesn't produce a high. You report it does, what does it depend on regarding whether you feel high or not?
Not trying to be funny, but I'm wondering if small doses as a preventative measure would be a good idea.

Found this story that's pretty interesting, although I know nothing about the source that posted it:

Thank you!

One of my pet peeves was always that "others" didn't partake in "doing" -- many choose to let others "do". That's never been our style. If you belong to a club - go to the meetings - attend the events - volunteer to work a few hours at the event rather than letting someone else to ALL the work.... When I was on the Board of Seattle Yacht Club -- we used to thank all the members for paying their dues so the rest of us could have a great club. While meant to be funny.... it was true that of 2500 members -- only maybe 500 where truly "active". Great base of members supporting the rest of us that were having all the fun.

In other words...... GIVE BACK SOME -- or PAY SOME FORWARD... it's truly more rewarding in the long run.






Thank you!


My "condition" reminds me of a great line ---- I just dropped, in to see what condition my condition was in......














I've said it 10 zillion times ---- Cancer is kind of like a cold - you just never know where or who it came from. I'm 63 years old - lived a good life..... I feel SORRY for those such as you mention here - 29 years old!! WTF Alex is only 29 - they haven't lived at all yet! That's wrong and it's why we need to fix this.

OKAY!!! NOW WE'RE BACK ON TRACK.......



Sorry guys -- but I wanted the thread to be MEDICAL -- and not really about "ME" -- even thought I truly appreciate everyones kind words!




CBD oil without any THC (you can buy it with many different levels or zero!) - will not produce any high whatsoever... Use it all you want. There's so many kinds out there - watch for where you buy and how you intend to use it! Gwen just got some CBD oil BALM for her KNEES -- applied it once -- said tonight at dinner she hadn't had pain from her knee all day.



THC or AKA: RICK SIMPSON OIL -- This stuff gets ya high buddy! I'm here to tell you that your first dose of ONE HALF THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF WHITE RICE will put you on the floor! Thus the "working up to" the full dose of 1 gram per day for the 60 days. I worked up to taking 1.5 grams per day!! And at the END of the course I got very LITTLE high from it. More like having a couple of beers.
But working up to --- and maybe like MOST OF THE TIME I was taking the combo THC/CBD oil ---- I was STONED IMMACULATE! WASTED. Do not drive - Do not attempt to pay bills - don't do anything but stay home - Get rest - and have someone take care of you.

To Bad. We love you and when you love someone then you say nice things to them.



Not sure if it's just me but this made me laugh especially the "Don not attempt to pay bills" comment.


Serious Question now, I know you said during treatment to get some rest is that because you are so wiped out or they want you to rest during treatment ?
