Hi all
Please excuse this long post, but lots to ask.
I have ovarian cancer which has spread within the abdomen and am presently undergoing chemotherapy and nearing the end of my first course. The aim was to allow me to have surgery but there is still too much metastised cancer present - I understand the outer surface of the small bowel is the problem - and I am told it is highly unlikely that I will be offered surgery now - which more than halves my life expectancy.
I have to say that conventional chemo has helped me a lot and that I would almost certainly be dead by now if it were not for this treatment, However surgery was always the aim for me and without that I don't think chemo will get me much further. Ironically I now actually feel in better health than for years previously; so I am not going to just lie down and accept the 18 months or so that the statistics give me, punctuated by increasingly ineffective courses of chemo - I want to take my health in my own hands and try something different.
At present I have 6 weeks - 5 treatments - of paclitaxel to go, then I'll be assessed again for surgery but I feel that they've already pretty well decided I won't get it. However I intend to give this chemo the best chance I can, so I am backing it up with fasting 2 days before, 1 after to protect the immune system (and maybe even improve the kill rate); a change to a low-carb diet so as not to feed the cancer on glucose - and CBD oil, though not, unfortunately at the dose I would really need for it to tackle the cancer in its own right. THC is of course illegal here and I don't have access to it; CBD, given that growing cannabis is also not legal, is imported and expensive, but available. I was stockpiling it in order to try the full gram a day, 3 month protocol - I am going to use what I've got, then try save up again for a proper go at the end of March, trusting that chemotherapy, with or without surgery, will buy me that much time in the first instance.
I have gleaned loads of advice and guidance from this forum and I intend to try biobombs and include the pessary route as well as oral to get maximum impact from my limited supply; I shall start that this week. However, most of the information on here really applies to THC rich oil - is it also relevant to CBD and CBDa rich oils or does it need adjustment?
What would an appropriate protocol be for using CBD / CBDa?
THE BIG QUESTION. Does it work? Or is THC really necessary?
Also, where does the cottage cheese come in? I haven't quite sussed that. I would willingly shove it up any orifice necessary, but I'm really hoping I can eat it?
I have no previous experience of cannabis; beyond a bit of mild alcohol abuse as a student I've never really wanted to "twiddle the dials of consciousness" (as a friend once put it) let alone become a grower, but given that I would rather be a live renegade than a dead sheep, I am coming round to the idea, spurred on by the moralistic attitude of the establishment which seems to ignore life-saving potential in favour of political correctness.
So, if I were ever to make my own oil, how long would it store? is it something that goes rancid?
Any advice on varieties? To minimise the risk of discovery and to speed the process, I think I would need THC rich, early maturing, auto flowering varieties - I could still buy in CBDa - but how many indoor plants would I need to give me the THC rich component of a cancer cure, given that I am not an experienced grower and my facilities would be pretty low-tech.? I have looked at some of the catalogues, but my estimates could be way out.
How big do these plants grow?
So many questions and a massive learning curve ahead of me.
Thank goodness I found this place.
edited to ask one more question - bio bombs; liquid sunflower lecithin is hard to get here - I have some on order but it won't come for a while. Is there any reason to avoid soya lecithin, which is much easier to find?
