Cois Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Have you gotten your hands on some dagga oil yet?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) BigDL, Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail", TheJ and 2 others 5
Cois Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 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. Sepia, Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail", Tatt and 6 others 9

RobertWhitehead Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Sorry to hear about all the hick-ups, all the best and shout if you need any support / assistance / comic relief Cois 1
Mudsimus Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Good luck Cois! Its not good reading about your experience with Cansa. I think it all depends on the local branch. We worked with them when my grandfather got cancer. That lady was an absolute godsend. She didn't skip visits for one day. Helped with oxygen, meds, hospital visits etc. Cois 1
RocknRolla Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Having lost my dad to lung cancer two weeks ago, I really wish you strength and positive vibes!!It was a most difficult path, and the hills you will have to get up in the coming months are going to be out of category. Just know, there are people thinking of you, and are really rooting for you!. ChrisF, Alistair Cookie, partydave and 6 others 9
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 All the best with your recovery Cois, trusting you'll go from strength to strength in the coming weeks and months. Keep the faith. Cois 1
Chris_ Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 The guy next to me at work just asked "Are you ok? It looks like you're crying?! ha ha blah blah' If only he know.... Damn friend... my heart goes out to you. Keep your mind strong, your body will follow. Sepia, Cois, Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail" and 3 others 6
Spinnekop Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Keep going Cois. Thinking of you.Thanks for sharing your story. Let me know if you need anything.
Chris_ Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 And thanks for the reality check, we get caught up with so much boolsh*t that is wholly irrelevant in our days. I'm going to call my father-in-law now, he too got nabbed by prostate cancer a few weeks ago. Andrew Steer 1

Andrew Steer Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Wishing you all the best with the road ahead Cois!She's a scary beast, and we all fear her, but she certainly can be beaten.Stay positive, stay strong and you'll be back on that bike again! Cois 1
Wayne pudding Mol Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Was feeling sorry for myself today for various reasons but then the reality check of reading about someone with real problems. Best wishes Cois, hope it all gets better for you from hear on out. You've been dealt a tough hand, thanks for sharing Jako De Wet, Harryn and Cois 3
