Bleeding

My cell phone rang at work yesterday, and the caller ID showed Maddie and Riley's daycare. My heart and stomach sank. Daycare doesn't call to tell you the kids ate a good snack or had fun playing in the snow. Daycare calls to tell you someone has a fever or someone is barfing or someone broke an arm.

This time, daycare was calling to say that Riley had woken up during his nap with a bloody nose. The staff had it all under control, and Riley did not seemed disturbed. He just wanted to go back to sleep. I'm sure the bleeding was caused by the terribly dry, cold air of New England winters. We run a humidifier full-tilt at home, and there's one at daycare, too, but even that's not always enough for those with sensitive, delicate baby skin. I asked if I should come pick Riley up, but the consensus was that there was no need.

I breathed a sigh of relief that everything was basically OK, but I was afraid. I'm no stranger to bloody noses. John got them a lot towards the end of his illness. By the last few months of his life, the chemo had so damaged his system that he couldn't produce enough platelets for his blood to clot effectively. He'd just bleed and bleed and bleed. And bleed. It was scary, and gross, but mostly just scary. Every time he'd get a nosebleed, I'd think, "This is it. This is the end." Ultimately, a nosebleed wasn't the end of it all, but when you are watching a substance that should be inside your sick husband's body gush out of it, a substance that sustains his life, it's hard not to feel like a nosebleed could be a harbinger of death.

Riley's nose bled a bit more during the night. "Mama! I have boogers!" he cried out. I cleaned him up and that was that. His nose wasn't even really bleeding, just dripping a tiny bit, which stopped as I wiped it away. Thankfully, there was no river of blood that couldn't be stopped, even with ice packs and pressure and every single one of our spare towels. There was no need to throw together a bag of stuff to take to the ER (a task I can accomplish in about 2 minutes, maximum), no need to call 911 for an ambulance (something neither John nor I ever thought to do when he needed urgent care).

Riley went right back to sleep. Not me. All I could think about was the last few months of John's life and how awful they were. Things I remember from those months, in no order whatsoever:
  • The nosebleeds, oh, the nosebleeds.
  • The frustration of John not getting treatment due to low platelet counts.
  • Test results bringing bad news.
  • Fear. Constant, oppressive fear.
  • John sleeping.
  • John vomiting.
  • Me never sleeping.
  • The hospital.
  • Hearing John's beloved oncologist say to us, "I don't like to talk about how much time is left, but at this point you need to recognize that it's going to be weeks, not months, not years."
  • Taking a nap with John in his hospital bed
  • Lugging my breast pump to the hospital every day and pumping in John's room while my in-laws watched.
  • The absurdity of registering for hospice
  • Liters of belly-bloating fluid being drained from John's distended abdomen.
  • Calling my mom from the lobby of the hospital and saying, "Mom, I need you. Now."
  • Lugging Riley around on my hip as I prepared a dose of morphine for John.
  • In his last few days of life, John's obsession with taking a shower.
  • Arguing with my in-laws, and, ultimately sending them home so that John and I could have a few last days together.
  • The day before he died, wanting John to die because I didn't think either of us could take one more day of him "living" the way he was.
  • John's confusion, empty look, and inability to keep his eyes open.
  • Anger that my husband was dying.
  • Resentment that my husband couldn't help me more.
  • Shame that I was angry and resentful and that I didn't feel particularly warm or loving towards anyone.
No one tells you that as a caretaker, you'll experience all kinds of emotions that will make you utterly ashamed. I was so often angry with John, angry that he was leaving me and the kids, angry that he couldn't help me more, angry that I had to take care of our kids and him. HE WAS DYING, and yet I managed to direct my bitterness about the situation towards him. No one tells you that along with the sadness of grief comes a loathsome sense of relief that the hypervigilence of being responsible for someone with a terminal illness is gone. When John died, cancer suddenly vanished from my life. As sad as I was to see John die, I was in equal measure relieved that no one living under our roof was being eaten away from the inside, dying far too early, suffering far too much.

Relief. It's embarrassing to admit that part of me felt flooded with relief the night John died. In part, I was relieved for him. John was so tired of being sick. But I was also relieved for me. I was so sick of dealing with sickness, of scheduling our lives around cancer. The oppressive weight a terminal illness brings into a home is something I cannot adequately describe, and something I do not miss.

I miss John, of course, but I don't miss the John of the last four months of his life. I miss the man I married, and the core of him was slowly sucked away during his illness, leaving a shell that, in personality, was almost not recognizable to me by the end. John pulled away from me at the end, and pulled away even more from Maddie and Riley. He almost couldn't stand to be around them because he couldn't bear to see what he was leaving. And yet. And yet! The night before he died, he got out of bed and, with the help of me and my father-in-law, shakily made his way to the living room where he held a bottle for Madeleine and snuggled her while I read some bedtime stories. I have pictures of that night; those are the last pictures of John alive, holding his daughter, sitting in our glider, Riley and me next to him. The next day, John was dead.

I still, every day, feel two conflicting emotions in equal measure. I feel profound sadness that John is not here to experience our life, and I feel profound relief that his suffering came to an end. One of the many things that makes grief so unbearably hard is that it stirs up emotions that you don't expect, emotions that you never thought could be experienced simultaneously, emotions that no one wants to talk about, emotions that are uncomfortable to feel.

No calls from daycare today. Hopefully the nosebleeds are over. I think I've had all the nosebleeds I can take.

I was reading your post today, and it brought back the memories of my Dad passing away last May. The same, empty look, the feeling of anger towards him, relief when he died, the feeling of wanting him to die, and not wanting him to die at the same time.
I've just now reached the point where I can talk about him and picture the "before illness" Dad and not the hollow eyed person that was there in the last days.

Thank you for your time, your writing.

Thank you for a small glimpse into what life is like taking care of a sick person. what a beautifully written post

Rebecca and Chris said...

I think that all of your emotions came (and come) from the same one emotion - your love for John. You are sad he is not with you, because you loved him. You are relieved his suffering is over, because you loved him. You were angry with cancer and what it was taking from you, because you loved him.
Everything you felt and continue to feel is legitimate, because it is coming from love.

My John was on blood thinners, he had a bleed {spontaneous, in the middle of his chest, cuz irony is nothing - if not ironic}. It wasn't a big bleed, but it went on for FOURTEEN HOURS. Through, ice and towels and blow dryers and jokes and WTH!!!!? and never once did it occur to us to engage the help of a professional for that bit.

It was within the last two weeks. His hope came from a bottle of Paxil and the amazingness of who he was.

My mother cared for her father during his final illness, when he stopped eating in order to speed the inevitable. When they discovered he'd died in bed, her first words were, "thank God." That was the prevailing sentiment, absolutely.

I chucked when I read s_ivan's comment. Why don't we say Snick can be as heavy and thought-provoking, compelling and tear-jerking as she wants so long as she labels the posts "not safe for work?" I can't portray the hard ass litigator when I'm in tears at my desk. =) Seriously, the post was beautiful, and I second Giovanna's comment because I'd love to read that book.

I can relate to all the feelings you mentioned. I lost my husband new years eve to lung cancer after a 5 month battle with chemo and all the bad effects of it. I too felt a sense of relief and sadness mixed when it was over. I was glad he did not have to suffer any more. I also felt ashamed to be glad it was over.When you know someone you love has a terminal illness and can not recover from it it is so hard to go through the daily living routine.It all centers around the ill person and there is no relief or spare time for yourself. I understand this very well, but I did not have babies to care for too at the same time. I wonder how you were able to keep your sanity at all! You must be a very strong and couragous person and you should be proud of what you did and not feel remorse about your feelings at the time. It is just human nature to feel those things. I wish you and the twins the bets and hope you find real happiness with someone else. You are too young and beautiful to be alone with just kids for the rest of your life. Good luck and God Bless.

Really good post. You're so good at summing up all the conflicting emotions in a way that honors everyone involved without hiding anything. I deeply respect your ability to balance that edge.

Your post reminds me of so many similar scenes. The most lasting 'PTSD' for me is how much I hate the smell of hospitals.

Another random realization: it took 10 years to have a dream of my Mom where she wasn't the cancer version. It's been fun to have her show up in my dreams in the last few years. Healthy, vibrant, younger than I ever knew her in life.

Sue said...

We tended my mother at home in the last week of her life, as she succumbed to a horrendous, aggressive ovarian cancer.

The way you describe grief in the aftermath is exactly right, from my experience. Thank you for saying it so well.

A year later, I'm still grieving the loss of my sons at 20 weeks gestation, and I'm still surprised at the unexpected mix of emotions I experience every day.

The image of your husband holding your daughter brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful moment in the very worst of times.

Snick, I'm crying while vigorously nodding my head to everything you've written, and I'm thinking:

Yes, of course.

OF COURSE you felt that way.

OF COURSE you did -- how could you not?

Everything you said was absolutely, hauntingly truthful, and I think it's in that perfect space of truth that we find the real meaning of life and of being human.

Amen.

Oh, flashbacks. Such fun. My friend's husband became handicapped over a year ago and sometimes (even though he has a drastically different problem than my dad had) I still am quietly freaking out. Hell, I'm resentful on her behalf for always being trapped by him- but in his case it's just as much bad personality as it is illness.

I hear you on the resentment thing, I've been doing it this week. Good times.

Wow. This post left me in tears. Beautifully written, and so full of honest emotion.

I think everyone who has been in a similar caregiver situation has thought at some point "why can't you just die and get it over with?" It's not pretty, but it's normal and common and true. Thank you for sharing.

I read your blog whenever you post and cannot put into words how much I enjoy reading it. I lost my mom two months ago and remember feeling the ranges of emotions of relief and guilt and the sounds of her moans before she died haunt me still. Can you please write a book or start on one? I swear it would be a bestseller. I read tons of blogs and your writing by far surpasses any of the ones I read.

Hi Snick,
My husband died from pancreatic cancer also. I too have some painful memories of those last months. I remember being extremely exhausted by the care regime he needed. A friend once said "if you ever want to have a cup of tea and talk let me know". I didn't want tea! I didn't want talk! I wanted HELP with the daily and weekly routine. I felt tired and guilty for wanting just some time to myself, to sleep late and recover, to get away just for a little bit. And yes, those memories of the illness itself are terribly difficult. Sometimes I fear they overshadow many of my other memories.
Thank you for openly sharing your feelings. If there is one thing I wish I could have known at the time was that it's okay to have needs too, it's okay to rest, it's okay to feel overwhelmed and not want to do it all.
I was so overwhelmed by the routine, I actually never realistically considered the thought that he might die. It was all about getting through each day.
I've commented here before, but posting anonymously now. Even after this time has passed, I still feel a bit guilty for even complaining!
Thank you for sharing.

watercolordaisy said...

I have a chronic illness that gives me pain most of the time. Most people have no idea, so good am I at living with it. And I've struggled with when/how to tell men I date about it. This post makes me wonder if it is even a good idea to think anyone is going to want to walk into my life ever and purposefully take me on and the relentlessness that is in my life. Or if I even have the right to hope for it. hmm.

watercolordaisy said...

And I know that isn't how you mean it. :) It is just something I have been pondering anyway and this post gave another perspective on thoughts I've already had.

Snick,

That was beautiful. The passing of Keen's father was painful for us, especially as it happened only a few weeks before he was to first see and hold his grandsons Learning how sick he really was, his quick passing was ultimately a blessing. Just really, really hard to take.

Hope that you and the kids are doing well.

Thanks for thoughtful, provoking and deep post. I love a coworker who is dying of cancer, and will soon be going through many of the same emotions. The problem is the world doesn't recognize a "work widow," as we are both happily married, yet deeply, emotionally connected. I am pulling away to avoid the hurt, as he is too. Loving someone (my coworker) isn't the same as being in love (my husband), so please, no comments.

Anonymous said...

I've lurked here for a long, long time but today I feel compelled to comment. Your post brought me to tears. My brother passed when I was 13, and my dad when I was 16. Grief is indescribable and indeed, can be very uncomfortable to talk about. Even today, I've never spoken to anyone about how either deaths made me feel or how profoundly they affected me, and most who know me nowadays have no idea I ever had a brother. It's something I can't bring myself to do - give the "explanation". There's shame because I don't talk about it, that I don't celebrate his life. Shame is a horrible, horrible thing to feel in response to a loved one's death.

Thank you so much for your blog. You're articulate, funny, and introspective. Thank you for your bravery in recording and sharing this part of you. It helps.

My fiance, N, is having (what I hope to be) a minor anemia issue that he is getting tests for. He had a simple inpatient test yesterday, one that only took an hour or so.

But when I couldn't get a hold of him right away after it should have been over, I went into emergency panic mode. Should I call the hospital? Is he dead? Is it something terrible?

You don't go through years of being the caregiver of someone with life threatening and/or terminal illnesses and just go back to normal life when you are "relieved" of duty. The fact that all those worst case scenerios really do happen and you've been there through many of them makes you never able to look at any medical situation the same way again. I do it with my kids, too.

I understand about the nosebleeds.

Honest, moving and thought-provoking. I recognise something of myself and my feelings when my mother lay dying of cancer. I know I got to the point when all I wanted was for it to end.

I felt the anger, fury and the guilt. Six years on I can still be transported back to her final week just by the smell of a hospital.

It never goes away, but the guikt and anger do, thank goodness.

Thank you for your honesty.

I've never been one to compare grief, but I think it's safe to say that (for me) I will take the sudden rupture of the aortic aneurysm over the slow torture of pancreatic cancer.

I think that if Josh had died of cancer that I would have dealt with it in a similar way- day by day, get done what needs to be done... but I know without a doubt that I would not have been able to write about it like you do.

I admire you so much, Snick, and am so grateful for your words.

Vanessa said...

Just after my husband died, the only thing that stopped me from losing my mind was that I knew he had been ready for it and had wanted to be released from his pain and illness. It wasn't a relief for me in the same way it was for you (I hadn't been a hands-on caregiver) but it was a huge relief for him, albeit a relief tinged with regret that he had to leave us.

By the way, you probably know this, but nosebleeds are really common in little boys -- my brother and my dad both had them as children, and one of the boys my daughter played with when she was younger did, too. Riley will be fine.

I cried too on reading this. You convey the experience so well, but how much worse it must have actually been to live. Having been so lucky as to escape the death of anyone very close so far--but with a couple family members, albeit not close ones, now embarking on this path--this gives me a better window into grief and the horror of terminal illness. I hope I will be able to use what you have written here to be a better resource for them and their caregivers. This stranger sends you her love and respect.

My dad died when I was 17. It was the middle of the night and he was in the last stages of prostate cancer. He had such a quick decline, but it was so hard to watch. When you get to the point when you know they aren't going to get better, yes it is a relief when they go. Doesn't make it easier for US, but you know there's no other way.
It was Feb 10, 1993 and even though that seems so long ago, somehow the memories stay pretty fresh.
I am truly sorry for your loss and I thank you for sharing this because I relate and sometimes it's okay to remember the bad and grieve again.

Candice said...

Fantastic, spot-on, honest post, as always, Snick. (I'm just catching up now on friends' posts from the last week or two...I hate the my life is so crazy and busy right now that I can't "keep in touch" better lately.)

I'm glad you wrote all that you did in this post. It's certainly all information that I've learned to be absolutely true, both from my experience of my own widowed road (even though I didn't experience terminal illness to get there) and from the experiences of my now-widowed friends who DID have to suffer through terminal illness.

People who've never experienced or witnessed any of this don't really understand the ugly and conflicting emotions that we go through...but by you sharing them, they can mercifully start to understand...even if it's only in the smallest snippets.

It's interesting--my memories of my last days, weeks, and months with Charley are the complete opposite of yours. It was all wonderful, perfect, better than it had ever been. And then it was all gone, ripped away in one split second, without any warning or time to say goodbye. And it's a totally different experience than terminal illness--not easier or harder, just different--but I felt much of the same anger and resentment toward Charley after he died. Relief that HE got the best death he ever could have wanted--quickly, instantly, without all the messiness that old age and/or prolonged terminal illness would bring--but so much anger and resentment that he got off so easy and didn't have to deal with any of the shit I had to deal with.

I still feel that way at times, even now at 3 1/2 years out. Thank god most of it has faded now, because that anger, resentment, and bitterness were downright caustic, acidic...and certainly ate up every fiber of my being for a long time. So even though you and I got to this point in life in totally different ways, I understand your feelings and words completely.

Hugs, my friend! (And it was great to see pictures of you in your most recent post. ;o))

Oh my goodness, this was a post I needed to read today. I have been following your blog for awhile, more so since my Dad was diagnosed with Stage IV metastasized lung cancer last April. My mom and I are primary caregivers. Your list and expressions of both guilt and relief nailed it, and people who haven't gone through it really don't get it at all. My Dad is still here, stilling plugging away, but he has suffered irreversible brain damage from tumors and radiation. He is not the same person, and I try to tell people 'I lost my dad awhile ago. He's just still alive.' And they don't understand, they just tell me what a 'miracle' it is that he's still alive. Yeah, my once vibrant, full of life dad, the avid backpacker and brilliant writer, who can now barely walk and do little more than sit in a chair all day. That's not a miracle.

My brother-in-law died last week after 9 months of fighting cancer. Your words perfectly described what our family experienced. Watching someone fight to live with and eventually die with cancer is too sad, anger-provoking, and soul-draining to articulate very well - you nailed it.

Wow. I love that post, Snick. And I can relate to every word.

Every. Single. One.

And I don't know if it helps that much but I can say in all honesty that I lived it, too.

All best wishes and hugs from London. And spirits up.

Christine said...

You are an unbelievable, ballsy person for sharing so much with us. Thank you. And on a somewhat lighter note, I too never like to see Daycare (I have them programmed in) come up on my cell phone during the day either.

Snick,

I was starting to reread this entry when I remembered that I wanted to tell you that our pediatrician told me to swab a little neosporin in my daughters nostrils during nose bleed season. It allows the nose to heal and lessens the nosebleeds. I used q-tips to do the swabbing. Can't promise it helped, but I felt like it did.

Now I'll go back and read the rest of your post.

thanks for sharing. I lost my brother in law last October - he left my sister and a beautiful 1 year-old boy. Thanks for your example.

I just want to thank you for sharing with the world your journey with such honesty and passion. As I read, I cried. God how I cried. I lost my husband in August of 2008 to the beast as well and your writing captured the myriad of emotions a parter and caregiver experiences. I hope that blogging brings your clarity and peace as I have found it has done for me.

Linda said...

I started crying as I read this post. So hauntingly painful and beautiful.

Mel said...

That is a powerful description. You make the impossible-to-understand somehow make sense.

Thank you.

Congratulations on your move, too. It was really hard for me to do after Greg died, especially because it forced me to go through his things. But it was very important and ultimately the best thing to do.

Living with someone else keeps you sane! I live with my sister and there is no way I could take care of my nearly 2-year old without the company of another adult in the house. Sometimes, you just need someone to shoot the shit with.

Been a HIV positive is just like been through hell but EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. So amazing and i want to testify of the good work done by DR. SHAKES SPEAR is a very strong and powerful spell caster. DR. SHAKES SPEAR has proved science and scientists wrong for believing and thinking that there is no cure for HIV AIDS but to be sincere this GREAT MAN is so real and powerful. I never thought that this spell will work but this GREAT MAN has proved it to me and it has worked and still working perfectly. My Name is Stella Lucas and i was diagnosed of the deadly disease called HIV AIDS in 2010 and i thought that was the end and there will be no hope. Speaking to anyone was always a problem because i was so worried and always in the state of unrest in fact i thought it was over until one blessed day when i was searching for help here on the internet, i came across a testimony about DR. Shakes Spear on how he has helped so many people on many issues in life, a lady who was HIV positive got cured by him, how he cured cancer, and he made so many women to be pregnant, and how he has cast a powerful spell to restore broken marriages and so on. At first i thought it was all a lie but i decided to give it a try since there was no option and, when i contacted this MAN he laughed and told me that, that is too small for him to handle but i was still in doubt, and he gave me a form to fill which I did, and he instructed me on what to do and i OBEYED him completely as he told me. Then he sent a parcel to me and it was a holy water and a pure holy oil as described by DR. SHAKES SPEAR I took the holy water and the holy oil and after taking it, he told me to go for check up but I was still in doubt and was so afraid to go for the test but i took a bold step and believed that it is well, and i believed all what he has done and all that he has told me. So i went to the hospital for the test it was so amazing, awesome and exciting what seems to be impossible became possible, the VIRUS disappeared completely from my system and I was tested HIV negative. Quickly I called him and told him what happened he congratulated me and today i am a happy woman again the way things use to be. Don't you think that this testimony is worth sharing? I promise to tell the world about him and i will keep sharing this testimony till the end because many people has died of AIDS and i want many people who believed that it is over to know that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND I WANT THEM TO GET HELP FROM THIS SPELL CASTER by contacting him on his email at: shakesspear23@yahoo.com OR shakesspear23@gmail.com for your solution now. If you are hiv positive and you think that it is over i want to tell you that there is hope for you and if you truly and dearly value your life please contact him now. THIS IS REAL HE IS NOT A SCAM, BELIEVE HIM AND DON'T ASK TOO MUCH QUESTIONS. Thank you DR. SHAKES SPEAR and May your good gods keep rewarding you... ONCE AGAIN HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS: shakesspear23@yahoo.com OR shakesspear23@gmail.com

Shakira Elliot Says

Am giving this testimony cos am happy

My name is Shakira Elliot from Houston,taxes.i never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once. when i went to Africa in June 28th 2013 this year on a business summit. i ment a man called DR SHAKES SPEAR. He is powerful he could help you cast a spells to bring back my love's gone,misbehaving lover looking for some one to love you, bring back lost money and magic money spell or spell for a good job.i'm now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 2 years. i really loved him, but his mother was against me and he had no good paying job. so when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him..at first i was undecided,skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. and in 6 days when i returned to taxes, my boyfriend (is now my husband ) he called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married..i didn't believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid,and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better. in case anyone needs the spell caster for some help, email address: shakesspear23@yahoo.com OR shakesspear23@gmail.com

I never knew cannabis oil was indeed wonderful and very effective in treating cancer’ if not for the government and their so called rules in regulating cannabis my Dad would have still been alive. thanks to the newly policy for legalizing cannabis else i would have still lost my son to kidney cancer, i was really touched and surprised when i watch lots of documentary on how cannabis oil had helped lot of people whom their family members never thought they could make it after undergoing several ”Chemo” from the dept of my heart i must say a word of appreciation to Dr Shakes Spear for the timely intervention in the life of my son suffering from Kidney Cancer. as i am writing this testimony on this Blog my Son is so strong and healthy in spite he hasn’t completed the total Dosage’ for your cannabis and medical consultation try and get in touched with him through his email: (shakesspear23@yahoo.com or shakesspear23@gmail.com ) so he can enlightened you more.

When I was told by my doctor I had only 6 months before my lungs
cancer could mean a stroke or heart attack I was beyond devastated.
After reading the cancer cannabis oil miracle cure, I had to contact
Rick Simpson on email:
beforemedicalservice@yahoo.com
which I eventually made order for
the medication which arrive within 3 days of order.
I started treatment and implementing what you teach I was noticing
almost instant results! It's been 89 days and my lungs cancer is
finally under control, no matter what I eat or do with my life.
My doctor, aside from being totally confused by my recovery has said I
am now no longer a lungs cancer sufferer anymore, and it's all thanks
to what you showed me.

Thank you, I am forever grateful.

I am so grateful to Rick for providing me with Hemp oil here in the United State of America. I was diagnose with breast cancer 3 years ago, and ever since i have done a lot of Chemo and Radiation that have not helped me, but only damaged my immune system and render it weak and helpless. I came across the Phoenix Tears and i have read about the Rick Simpson Hemp oil a lot and saw that he could provide me with Hemp Oil here in the State, i contact him on:rickcurecancerfoundation@gmail.com

Life bounced back!!!

Hi , My name is charlespalmer. i want to share my testimony to everyone out there, and to help me thank RS. phoenixtears. Three years ago, after a prostate biopsy , my wife was given the diagnosis of aggressive Stage III adenocarcinoma . I didn ’ t know what to do . The urologist made appointments for my wife to start radiation , and may be chemo. Then a friend told me cannabis cures cancer . It just so happened that the first human trials of cannabis treatment of astrocytomas (inoperable breast cancer ) , were published with encouraging results . So I decided; rather than my wife die from the medical treatment , I would do the cannabis cure . Now… where to get some . There was no dispensary in the area, but a friend made me cannabis butter , so my wife took that, up to tolerance. In three months the primary cancer was gone , only minor metastatic lesions were left . At that point I found a supplier for phoenixtearslives oil and killed off the metastases in the next three months. Now I just take a maintenance dose of locally produced hash oil that is 1: 1 THC: CBD with about a 30 % potency . This will certainly keep my wife clear of cancer , anywhere, for ever . My point in telling this story is the fact that in the face of advanced aggressive cancer , all I had was very weak canna butter , but it was enough to eliminate the primary tumor . If you have cancer and want to pursue the cannabis treatment, please don't die in silent please email: phoenixtearslives@gmail.com

My name is Perry and my father has been suffering from lung cancer and the doctor told us that there is nothing he could do after doing 5 times chemotherapy and radiation and my father was not responding to treatment and not getting better.i was frustrated and confused and seeking advice from people until a friend told me about Dr. Koffi herbal cannabis oil and its fast curing ability of any kind of cancer and told me that her mother ovarian cancer was cured with the cannabis oil.
