As I have stated I am not so naive as to believe there is a way of curing this, considering its recurrence rate as well as its death rate is 100%, I am however hopefully optimistic about making her remaining time as pain free and "normal" as possible.

depending on location and severity... a little of both.

my uncle (who gets both) will take the marinol to prolong and strengthen the affects of the other. this especially helps alleviate his anxiety like symptoms and helps with his appetite. he gets thin and sickly and when he's like that is often when his blood counts are extremely low. it is of my understanding that his appetite is imperative to his health at this point and there are times when it takes both to facilitate that.

i think it's only right to put this out there considering the situation at hand. this same uncle will dang near throw hissy fits when he's only got marinol on hand. in his opinion it's just not the same and he certainly seems to be more anxious with less of an appetite when that's all he has.

*anxious may not be the correct term for what i'm describing, but outwardly the symptoms seem identical. i think you'll know what i'm talking about, but i'm unsure of the medical term.

The psychological "addiction" for lack of a better term is quite common in marijuana use, be it for recreational or medical purposes. I am actively looking at the pros and cons of Marinol right now as she will be going through a stem cell transplant and as in your uncles case appetite will be crucial. It seems the benefits of medical marijuana are boundless when dealing with diseases such as this and it IMO is shameful that more people don't recognize its benefits.

Petluvr...look into finding a holistic practitioner in your area that provides not only herbal treatments but accupuncture as well. It may not "cure", but I am a strong believer in using a combo of eastern and western medicine. Accupuncture and herbal remedies have been around for centuries for a reason.
I have my own personal experiences with accupuncture...it is worth a try even if it only improves the current quality of life. It has remarkable abilities with pain, nausea, etc.

have u tried cancer centers of america? i think is there name they advertise on tele,. they go about treating cancer all the way around thru diet and meditation and holistic approches,.. i'd give it a whirl, there are a few center around one in philly and another out west,. not sure where the rest are,..

Petluvr, I am the corporate food sponsor for The Canadian Cancer Society when they do their Relay For Life here in Regina. I have been doing it for the past 7 years. So I have done much study into this subject.

If there were but one thing I could share with you it would be this. In addition to the product you make mention of do research into the foods that help prevent the growth of micro tumors which is one of the ways that cancer gains its ground in the battle for dominance in the human body. There are also certain foods which actually asisst the body in not only prohibiting the growth of new micro tumors but will help to shrink existing ones.

Here is a google search I just did that will give you a starting place. http://www.google.ca/search?q=foods...s=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

My studies have shown me that deep fried and microwaved foods are also a source that can promote the growth of cancer and should actually be avoided.

So sorry to hear of your family member being striken with this.

Looks like you are getting lots of good advice. Holistic, is the way to go if you ask me...doing the research is a must and looking into the dietary changes is very important in this also. I'm not saying it will cure, as you stated already that is not what you are looking for but it is IMO the best way to help. Holistic and natural medicines have been around ALOT longer then the stuff the medical field uses and has WAY less dangerous side effect to worry about. I am in no way saying there is no danger in holistic/natural because there can be just the same as conventional meds, it's such a shame to me the insurance doesn't cover more treatments like that.

Good luck to you and your family!
