Rather than try to respond individually to various suggestions etc -- which just makes for a whole bunch of reading.... I'm going to just answer ONCE - the reasons for NOT DOING surgery or Chemo etc.
Personally we have led a very charmed life style. We don't just get a room at the Beverly Wilshire. We get a suite. The point? There's not much I haven't done.
75th running of the Monaco Grand Prix? CHECK!
25th Eddie Aikau? CHECK!
MY POINT?? The QUALITY of life must have some consideration. Life for me means being active - traveling - doing things that can't be compromised by feeling crappy -- or having to do appointments for chemo treatment - therefore being tied to some "place". A liver transplant is out of the question for me. Just not going to live with all the side affects etc that is going to entail.
AND HERE IS WHERE THE THC/CBD TREATMENT has been so "effective" to date -- mind you -- we're only 3 lousy months into this thing -- because I have been able to continue to do the things I like to do! I'm headed out on a mountain bike ride in a few minutes. Then I'm going to workout with my trainer tomorrow. And I'm planning on doing DirtFish -- and Thunderhill -- and SEMA -- and beyond. WHY?? Because I FEEL it's doable! End of story. TO me ----- that means the stuff is doing it's job. I'm over the hump.... and on the road to normality. Isn't that success enough?
How long does this last? Who knows? 2 months - 6 months - a year...... Doesn't matter. Until that day - I get up every day and go do stuff. That's living. The other -- that -- to me -- is suffering.

And that is what we talked about on our visit, Especially Anita! make plans and make them happen!! so glad to hear that things are better.
Greg, I'm glad you are waging war with F%*@ Cancer! and glad I've checked in with you to see how it is going.
What little research I have done is that the CBD/THC surrounds Cancer Cells and chokes them off and kills them.
I think this is the treatment of the future (except to the established Medical community). I know I have seen too many friends try to fight cancer with Chemo & Radiation, only to suffer and then wither away to die.

Kick Cancer's A$$!
Thanks T.C. !!! You have no idea how good I feel. I'm almost to the point of not wanting to say anything for fear of jinxing myself!!

This!
Greg, how well received from your "typical medial professional" was your alternative medicine? Was it met with resistance or skepticism?

Epic thread GW.
I've known you what, 6 or 7 years? Soberity warrior the whole time. To see you puff at Sonoma like I was in my teens and early twenties was priceless! Glad I made it and would not have missed it for the world.
Keep fighting the good fight brother! You are an inspiration to us all
Oh and Sieg - 'Ecocanniboid'?? Speak english please, lol.

It was so good to have you guys all show up! I don't care that I had to start dying to get everyone together.... it was totally worth it.
Trust me -- I shed A LOT of tears over this whole sordid affair! Getting messed up (folks the THC is STRONG and there's no getting around it's affects!) is just not something that I was prepared to do. It took some soul searching to be able to give in and go with it. I'm sure glad now that I did!
********************** Important to note ***********************
The "smoking" of the pot is what helps with nausea - my stomach "roiling rolling cramps" (stops them INSTANTLY) - and it's the easiest to "do" when you're out on the road or having fun or whatever. Dosing the other stuff is the medicine part! The smoking part is helpful in other ways..... and it also (the way I use it with the PAX Vape 2) is delivering the meds needed. Just way faster.
Rolling a joint --- NOT --- That's not what we're talking about here!
