Well this stinks. I just got on from a week long 5500+ mile road trip with the family to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, etc. and I didn’t expect to find this. It ain’t over til it’s over buddy. Embrace every moment in your today with everything you have. Make sure to say what needs to be said. Leave with no regrets. You have nothing to be ashamed of in my book Greg. You’ve fought this crap like your the second monkey trying to get on the ark, and it’s starting to rain. I applaud your dignity and your desire to help folks here, even now. I was out in your neck of the woods last week, and I will forever regret not taking the time to locate you and shake your hand. My prayers are still with you, as you know.

Although we never met, you've helped me a lot the past few years. With both the Investing thread and this one. With the knowledge you shared here, I was able to help promote the use of CBD/THC with my Grandmothers cancer as well. She kicked off all her meds and just ran with CBD/THC for a couple weeks, and it was the best she felt, and got my mom and family a few extra weeks with her that they wouldn't have had if they would have stuck with the morphine. She passed a few weeks ago, but it's a matter of time for all of us. We all know the outcome. Just not "when".
Keep the spirits up, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thanks again.
Albert

I’m glad it brought you all some comfort.... and some quality time, Albert!
I just hope the “government” gets off it’s stupid ass and allows some real research into the stuff. Maybe it’s just all in our heads - and maybe there’s some real actual medicinal uses....we won’t know for years. But it’s baby steps and I for one, never thought we’d even be this far along!

Thanks Scott.... It’s okay - glad you didn’t go out of your way — that’s family time and should be respected as such. Hope it was a good trip for all.
All along this “journey” — I’ve made decisions based on what “I” wanted the outcome to be — knowing that my decisions may be the wrong ones medically - but the right ones for ME. I never was going to do chemo and radiation — and certainly not after having my cells examined by Foundation One which said NO known chemo was a match for what I had.
QUALITY of life should be the focus - not length of it. If I was to live 3 more years - but be spending that time in a chemo room — and the hospital - and taking all manor of pills for the ills that come with that way of treatment — I say NO THANK YOU. I’ll take the time I have — do that as clear and unobstructed as I can - and run with it. That was my choice all along - still is.
Now — I’m positive - 100% — that the treatment of THC/CBD got me to this point. I’d argue to the death with anyone that thinks otherwise. I know how I’ve felt - I know what I did. Now — that’s where I would say that I possibly made choices that were for me vs length of life. I should have stayed dosing THC with the CBD the ENTIRE TIME since day one. However.... I didn’t want the associated “high” that came with it — and so I choose to do more CBD and very little THC.... I know it’s the THC that fights the cancer — but hoped that the CBD would at least hold it off and stretch out some time - while giving me the quality of life I desired. As I sit here now - I would not have changed the choices I’ve made.
I’ve said from day one — I’ve lived one hell of a great life. Would I like to continue that forever? Sure. We all would. But I have no regrets and feel that I’ve actually probably lived about two lifetimes. It’s only when discussing with buddies on the “text train” and I reminisce about life’s adventures — that I shake my head and think — this whole thing must sound “made up” because it’s so incredulous! Since my early teens - it was WOT - one adventure after another - and only seems to have accelerated in the last 30 years.
Life is a weird game — ups and downs - wins and losses... but when I stop and assess what’s the biggest thing in life for me — it always comes back to the people. The people I’ve met - the people that have been able to do things with - the people that have reached down and pulled me up - the people I’ve pushed up from the bottom.... in the end - that’s the only thing I’ll miss.

I’ll be forever grateful that you decided to push me up and show me so many different views and paths in life, you’ve truly made me a better person. I’m also honored that I’ve been able to reach down and pull you up when you needed a hand. Weld, your outlook on life, your courage, vulnerability and the way you treat people is contagious and has impacted so many people, I really hope you know this.
Cheers to you buddy, I’ll see you soon.

Although I don't post much here, I read alot. Greg every post I've seen you make has either helped someone or taught someone something. I hope someday I can be as positive as you are and touch so many peoples lives in a great way like you have. I'm praying that God heals you, He still does miracles you know 😉. I'm praying for your family as well.

Thank you!
Yeah — I’m not the guy that just posts “nice work”...... to me - that’s like telling someone at a car show “nice car”.... Ya think he/she doesn’t already have an idea?? LOL
I stay out of discussions that are technical in nature - others know more than I... but I try to post when I think I can ADD to the discussion. I’ve been lucky to have done a few things a few times over the years and if that’s helpful to someone else - that’s when I open my yap.
