Last year (2009) I was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. I was in constant pain because of a tumor at the base of my spine. My doctor was keeping me well supplied with morphine for the pain, but appetite was drastically reduced. After about a year I was pretty much beginning to waste away and no desire to eat.
Making a long story short, I decided I ask my doctor for a medical marijuana recommendation (that's what we have in Vermont). At first he was reluctant (I was to be his first MM patient), but decided that it was worth the try if it would help build my appetite.
We (both doc and I) went through the process of getting Vermont's Medical Marijuana card.
Now my appetite has increased amazingly and I have just about gained all my weight loss back. Now the cancer is still in body, but medical marijuana has given me a fighting chance. It has helped build my system and weight back up to where it should be ... literally saving or at least greatly extending my life.
