I’m sorry —- I didn’t see this post!!

I have switched my CBD to CannaKids version — and the CannaKids THC.....


Now — having said that — since my second diagnosis of cancer - this time in the Lymph Nodes and Lungs..... I did the 60 grams in 90 days thing — then just went with CBD only for maintenance (it has a small amount of THC) — so was doing 4/10ths of the syringe - it’s 800 mg of CBD — with 41 mg of THC (so 320mg of CBD and 16 mg or so of THC) — so was maintaining this intake - nighttime only.... for months now....

LATELY — Because of complaining to my NEW canna coach — I switched to “micro dosing” — taking small amount in the morning - noon - afternoon - and a bit more at bedtime - so taking in MORE THC — less CBD — and not having that “hung over til noon” feeling every day. I’ve added a PAX 3 vape thing and keeping the heat low - so vaping “flower” for getting some directly in to my lungs. Turns out — if you keep the heat down low - the flower doesn’t “smoke” - when it doesn’t burn the THC - you get the good stuff but without the “high”..... Learning all this as I go - but as of this May — I’ve managed to make it 3 years — not the 6 months they gave me in 2016!! Funny —- I also - at the advice of my coach - switched to Sativa flower (Maui Wowie) - and away from the heavy Indica..... and I have to tell you she has me feeling 400% better. Wake up feeling good — doing some stuff during the day — and NO napping — or rarely napping..... where I was sleeping during the day a lot... and just not feeling well. I’m very thankful for her help.

So this update won’t be fun for anyone to read....

I had a PET Scan Friday — and the docs called and their words were “it’s spread everywhere”. Bones - glute (weird huh) - galbladder - soft tissue in my back (the stab wound I described on Facebook)... many more lymph nodes - lungs.... and a cyst on the brain. Yep - that’s pretty much “everywhere”.

I know in my heart that THC and CBD is what got me the extra 3 years I’ve had since the first “you’ve got 6 months to live”.... and I probably should have taken more and done it for longer with the second diagnosis... but I wanted to experiment and see if I could just hold it at bay with CBD and less THC so that quality of life would be “balanced” — less high — thus more “doing”. The things I like to do are not conducive to being stoned. So I went with an attitude of “if I can just stretch this out a bit” versus going for a complete cure.

I did the 60 grams in 90 days the second time around — and when my next CT scan showed the cancer spot had only grown 1cm — I was good with that “pace”. The difference was it didn’t knock it clear out like it had with my liver cancer. I knew this was going to be a tougher battle because of the location. The lymph nodes vs the liver. The liver is going to filter 100% of your blood so it’s going to get a full on hit of the THC/CBD - whereas the lymph nodes live in a different environment.... they use lymph fluid.... As I sit here today - I’d have made the same choice.

What I did wrong was to stop taking anything when the Mayo guys said I had cured the liver cancer (9 months after the initial diagnosis). I should have probably kept up with a maintenance dose. But chose to keep my ammo dry and stopped taking anything. My thinking at the time was - I don’t want my body to get used to this - I’d rather keep this in reserve for a full shock and awe should I need it again. Who the Fk knows. It’s just guessing. I’m still happy I stayed away from the whole chemo bit.

So I’ve traded in the “pot” for morphine..... now it’s just managing end of life. What a long strange trip it’s been!
