CBD works great, but not the crap you get in SA.My brother got some CBD in Italy. Works much better than the black 1ml you get here in SA. I found a medical Cannabis Dispensary, they are very expensive, but hope it helps more than the black crap. I also started vaping CBD, it is faster acting when needed. Was not an option that I liked, but at this stage I want to get clean from this cancer. Smoking was a vice that I stopped 10 years ago, and vaping was the last thing I wanted to do Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Sad to say I did not. Aurina Ford screwed up as I always take out insurance for work or disease. They did not apply that to my loan. Could never afford life or dread cover, till I started the job I am being retrenched from, but tried to make a dent in my debt. After getting sick I got deeper in debt, if you have a job, you pay for public health care (aka you pay to go to Steve Biko)

Less than a week.And this guy I am working for drives a Porsche and has load of $$$. He does not give a hoot. In his words “you can’t bring emotion into deciding who stays” They will just change the title of the job. But as said, it might be a blessing, but now to get another job with cancer is not going to be easy. Had 3 calls and all ended when I mentioned cancer. At this stage it feels like I am toxic and no company or person will hire me. And I can still do my job. I still go into the office every day, and do my job. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Lawyer friend phoned last night. She says the correct procedure was not followed. So just need to send her the information that I have, and she will handle the case pro bono.

They (CEO) scheduled the meeting for Wednesday morning. The CTO (I report to him and not to the CEO) scheduled a meeting today with the team in Pretoria.

Got a mail today. Company is restructuring and relocating part of the company to Durban and laying off people. I am one of two people who received a mail on Friday on a meeting on Wednesday , the rest of the company received another mail today stating the restructuring. This is crap I don’t need now. The stress levels are trough the roof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I ask them to switch arms. It hurts a lot on day 4. Neuropathy is a bitch as well. Can't touch anything cold, and tiles floors are the worst. I wanted to get a port, just to help with the IV, because it is so easy to screw up an IV and chuck it into the muscle. And that is what happend the last time. I also look like a Parkinson's patient due to the meds I am taking. The CBD Helps a bit with that. But I am still missing going on a bike ride. I am unable to get the bikes on the roof rack. But I hope that I will be able to get on the bike soon.

I got Project cars one for PC and bought Project Cars 2 last week, also for PC... Can't wait to get home tonight to try Project cars 2

I have a contact number in Pretoria if that will help?

Use the fine one till you see larger grains, then switch over to a larger plastic one. Remember stainless steel kills kefir

It must be. It is the Pretoria Branch.

So after the first treatment (I get a set of 4 drips every 3rd week and then pills for two weeks and one-week recovery), I must say, OUCH! The site where the drip was in and the surrounds are very VERY sensitive. I am about to take the chemo tabs (Xeloda 1800 mg) so will know by later what the effects are. One thing... I miss cycling. At the current time, I still have some stitches healing, so will wait for the okay from the specialist, and most foods as the diet at the moment is a little limited and that is if I can eat. Lost 17 kg in the last three months.

Yes, I have. I have a 10% CBD Oil that my brother and his fiance sent me. (Comes from Italy) Another lady gave me 100% from ZA. The 100% has some THC so it kicks me a bit, but got a contact in Pretoria that can help. Getting a dagga plant as well. Will not smoke it (my lungs are the only organ that is 100% at the moment) so will either drink as a tea or make space cakes... Might just get a THC plant to space out a few people at work as well (this is a joke)

Morning guys and girls Sorry for the late update. But it has been a very difficult past two months so far. I have spent most of 2019 in hospital so far. I am posting this from Steve Biko Academic Oncology department. So update... Cancer has spread to my liver and spleen (Stage 4) Most of December was spent in hospital as well, where they made the choice to remove part of my liver and the spleen. I could not get a high care bed at that time, so was postponed to January. The day came and they had a bed open. So was wheeled into theatre. I opted for an epidural, but it took them two hours and a half hours of attempting to get the epidural in (must have been his first time, as the real doctor got it in within 5 minutes. Few test to make sure I could not feel anything and was put to sleep for the operation. I woke up the evening after 17h00 with my wife next to me, and I knew they did not remove the tumor or continue with the operation. The cancer spread to far. So they did a bit of exploring and looking round inside of me. As someone said, they did do a colostomy (that wrecked my lifestyle) so for now cycling is still out of the question. It made such a change, that I wanted to commit suicide more than once, but due to the incompetence of some of the staff at Steve Biko. The Stoma person gave us all the wrong information, leading to infection of the stoma that would have killed me if it was not caught in time by a private company. So had a few days recovery, found that with the epidermal they made a total screwup and suffering from back pain ever since then. Sitting is a real pain so working is a real problem (work decided that my sick leave note means nothing to them and I had to be back at the office as I was not sick and just wanted an extended leave. So last week I was suppose to have my first chemo session, but due to the late operation date and the unhealed stitches it was postponed to today. So I hope I can start this fight today. Just a huge thanks for all the support and messages from you all. Just one request. Please do not support CANSA. In my biggest time of need I was told, sorry we do not have the resources to assist you and your family. All we wanted was a counseling session. They said a month ago that they will send us information to visit the nearest Hospice. We are still waiting....

I am being discharged the moment. Will have to be back on the 23of December for admission I had 3 inoculations and thus the two-week break between it. They are first going to do a visual scan to make sure that cancer did not spread to the lining around the area. So this far I still have to see the oncologist next week, after the operation, I will be in for chemotherapy. And sounds like this might be a little problem because of the spleen removal problem. There is a lot of reading I have to do these following days. I have been booked off till the 23rd but I am going to go nuts at home alone. So not sure how to tackle this one.

Feeling a bit down. Posting this out of Steve Biko. I knew the cancer was aggressive but got a little shock. I am waiting for treatment to avoid infection. I will be losing part of my liver, due to a "spot" on my liver. That is not to bad. They will be removing my spleen at the start of next year and the tumour in my colon. That is the delay in treatment to get me resistant to whatever. My wife had to go and find two vials of injections as SBAH did not have stock. So will keep updated as things happen

Have been a very up and down week this far. I know a lot of people are not religious and the following link is what I can only state as YHUW helping hand in the situation. https://www.facebook.com/100023870225378/posts/363949957744009/ Just had one thing today that caught me off guard... Prostate exam... did not expect that event, and still feel a little violated

I have to be at Steve Biko next week Thursday to see a surgeon. 18 December I have to report to the oncology department. So things are getting to a point. One doctor could not believe that the specialist did not prescribe pain meds. I have not have a solid night sleep in the last two months due to the pain, and the normal meds does not help at all. So will get the meds tomorrow, so hope for a good nights rest tomorrow night

I have no problem with it at all. The grains changed from powder to grains. It has the better known form or the form as I know it.

I just want to thank everyone for their good wishes and all the messages. Some days are better than others. Today is a very bad and painful day. One glimmer of hope. I am allowed to cycle and it is advised to keep active and going to keep this stupid brain busy. I say stupid brain because the thoughts and ideas it concocts is the worst.

Hi Daryl. That was the worst experience. I passed out at one stage, plus point on that... I have a very clean bathroom now

Hi Chingy182 I think I know the Kefir tread. I started it I use the kefir in my smoothy every morning. I mix a little plain yogurt, about half a cup of kefir and some blueberries as my breakfast.
