Hi. Yes, my husband has been using it for a year now in addition to traditional meds and is currently NED and has been for the last 6 months.

Your doctor will most likely tell you that there is no scientific research to support a claim that hemp oil is a cure for cancer…the only thing our doctor would say is that it is proven to stop seizures in children. Notwithstanding, he supports my husbands choice to take it. By law, even if a physician knew of or had a patient that benefitted from taking hemp oil, he could not recommend it because it hasn't been FDA approved to treat cancer. I know it is working for my husband and 2 other people fighting melanoma. It's been reported in Spain that there is scientific data to support that hemp oil is curing cancer of many types. I guess my advice is that you should thoroughly research a make your decision based on what you learn. Alternative therapies are not always supported by doctors….that doesn't mean they don't work.
Best of luck and God bless you

Hi GAngel,That is great news! Which traditional meds was your husband on? How far along were you in your treatment when you started the hemp oil?
My father was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma in July. After unsuccessful treatment with Yervoy we were able to switch over to Tafinlar/Mekinist which produced some immediate results.
In early October we also started him on hemp oil. It has definitely helped with appetite and sleep but we are curious if it will eventually work.
Did you complete a full 60 gram reset? If so, was it within 3 months? My father is taking it slow because the oil makes him super drowsy.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

… but yes my wife is also taking cannabis oil (in Europe). She has been diagnosed with Stage IV in June and is on Tafinlar/Mekinist since. Scans have been good so far (>30% reduction in August) but we decided to try some alternative medicines as well including cannabis oil. Latest scans in October showed the PET scan was fully negative – CT comparison still to be made. But she's feeling good and we hope that at some point she'll also become NED!
She's taking drops by the way, it's a mostly THC bases liquid which is slightly diluted and you take 3+ drops 1-3 times per day. Drowsiness is hardly existing, you can always dose a bit less. The guidance here is to take as much it takes to get 'high' and then dose 1 drop less the next time until you find the sweetspot π
Good luck,
Rick

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your reply! It is amazing that you had a PET scan recently coming up negative and your wife was diagnosed only in June. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
About how many grams did it take her to get to her where she is at now?
Btw, my father has dark brown urine. We are wondering if it is taking a toll on his liver (his liver function numbers were high) or if it is from a separate kidney stone/stent issue that he is currently dealing with. He has only been on Taf/Mek since late Sept .
My father has been off the combination since 10/28 but we are still dosing him at about 0.14 grams of Cannabis Oil a day.

Hi Ermin,
Yes PET negativity was good news, but she still has significant tumour load in het liver and spleen so still far from being NED – but still good π
My wife is taking drops..
"3x diluted specially for cancer patients, contains approx. 10%THC en 2,4% CBD. 3-4 times per day 1-3 drops".
And no her urine is normal but she drinks lots of water (3+ liter per dag), eats vegan and drinks alkaline tea to bring her body's pH is balance. Will ask her though π
Good luck, Rick
