I am 52 years old. I am living with stage 4, metastatic breast cancer.
From the time we start learning to speak, we are programmed to be repeaters. Our handlers, including our parents, older siblings and teachers had a mantra that went like this: “Repeat after me.” This early conditioning trained us to repeat what authority figures told us, to suspend all reason and blindly follow the crowd.
I often read about how someone “won the battle against cancer.” The dominant expectation in the cancer community is to be in resistance to the disease. I choose to peacefully coexist with stage 4 breast cancer. There is no cure for metastatic breast cancer. If I go to war with this malady, I will be fighting a losing battle.
When I was first diagnosed with cancer, almost two years ago, my primary care physician said to me, “However this turns out, know that it does not mean you are a failure.” Dr Real, with those words, gave me permission to die without guilt. I exhaled and found the courage to live life in great abundance.
Hello! thanks for sharing this, i am in a similar position. I am 30 years old and was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. I decided to take the natural route, but many of my treatments can be done in conjunction with other treatments.
Just recently I posted my cancer fighting strategies, and I found that there were some other cancer fighters on here so I will share my stragies with you. Maybe some of this can help :-) im sure you have come across much of this info in your own research too.

I've read studies pointing to cancer patients commonly having long held anger or resentment over something/someone. Good for you for accepting your condition.
Cannabis is increasingly being used to cure a lot of 'incurable' cancer, especially as the realities of using it become more well known. Accepting you have cannabis doesn't mean resigned to die. Stage 4 doesn't mean dead.
Some things you can do that will be very beneificial
In 8 years, these are the methods I've seen have the quickest results.
Treatment with Cannabis can Increase Tumor Size (But not density)
So, be prepared. As tumor cells convert back to normal, they become less dense and grow in size. So tumors will swell with normal tissue, this is not a tumor growing in size, it's a tumor losing density and gaining volume.
Caution with lung and brain cancer, swelling tissues can put pressure in dangerous areas. Maximize food and alkalinity to stop growth, so treatment over time will still be effective.
Hope this helps. :D

You're most welcome :)
There are also an increasing number of cannabis strains with neutral terpen/cannabinoid profiles. Meaning strains that will not get you high or stoned or inebriated. I'm currently growing Canna-Tsu, one of the known types.
Cancer patients can use as much as they need and still be functional. No sleepiness, inebriation, foggy logic or thinking. You WILL get increased memory and focus and vastly improved pain control, among a whole host of other beneficial effects. :)

Best of luck. Cancer has hit my family hard the last couple of years. How it ends isn't important, enjoy the life you have today.
