On this video filmed in 2006, Dr. Robert Melamede, Professor of Biology at the University of Colorado, explains how the body’s Endo-Cannabinoid system (and plant based Cannabinoids as suppliment) kills cancer cells and inhibits tumor growth.
Refering to 1974 U.S.government-sponsored study when THC was found to slow growth of cancer cells

http://projectcensored.org/publications/2001/22.html

and to recent research in Spain finding that THC stopped brain tumors in rats and protected surrounding nerve tissue, demonstrating neuroprotectant aspect of Cannabinoids.

Refering to “Homeostatic Regulation” of several body systems by Cannabinoids, Dr. Melamede concludes that Cannabis is indeed a “Miracle Drug”, also recommending hemp oil as excellent source of EFAs the body needs to fight disease.

“Holistic Biochemistry of Cannabinoids”

Dr. Guzman will be at the 2008 Cannabis Therapeutics Conference this April. More info:

Cancer rates for many cancers are declining in the US, and as treatments improve, cancer survivability is improving dramatically in the US.

Contrast that with the UK, for instance, where survival rates are falling, and it pays to live in the US if you have cancer…

so sorrry for your loss… i too lost my dad recently to lung cancer after just 3 months of diagnosis….
i am tempted to think that maybe your mum asked the doctor and he would have probably given her his best estimate, but maybe when your sister asked your mum…..maybe your mum wanted to save your sister and yourself from knowing the terrible prognosis…….parents always want to protect their children!
I hope you find peace with this soon xx

Everyone is different, it depends on your age and your current state of health. My dad had lung cancer and lung removed and at that time we thought it had not spread and he lead a normal life, went abroad etc for 3 years until he had stomach pains – he died 6 weeks later with stomach cancer age 76 – we still don’t know if it was connected.

Doctors often rely on knowing the different stages of mesothelioma to be able to effectively treat this type of cancer. Like most other cancers, this type of cancer passes through different stages as the disease advances, these different stages have significant bearing on the type of treatment that will be prescribed and on the most likely outcome of the disease.

The various mesothelioma stages generally indicate how far the disease has progressed beyond its original point of origin. Localized mesothelioma is diagnosed when the cancer has not spread beyond the membrane (most often the lining of the lungs) in which it originated. If the cancer cells have spread beyond this lining to invade the lungs, chest wall cavity or other body organs it is considered an advanced mesothelioma stage, which is much more difficult to treat.

Beyond this informal localized vs. advanced classification, four distinct stages are recognized by each of the two most widely used mesothelioma staging systems. One system, the TNM staging system, is used most often in progressive cancer treatment centers and is recognized by the American Cancer Society as the most accurate mesothelioma staging system.
The other, the Butchart Staging System, is the most common system for staging cancer in general.

Butchart Mesothelioma Stages

The Butchart system classifies mesothelioma cancer into four different stages depending on the stage of the main tumor mass.

• Stage I – Cancer is only seen in one side of the chest lining, or pleura

• Stage II – The mesothelioma has spread to any one of the chest wall, esophagus or heart or the lymph nodes of the chest

• Stage III – The cancer has invaded the diaphragm and the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneal cancer) or has spread to additional lymph nodes in the body

• Stage IV – Mesothelioma has spread to several major organs The Butchart staging system has been replaced largely by the TNM system for classifying mesothelioma cancer stages.

TNM Staging System

TNM stands for Tumor, Nodes and Metastasis; three keys to determining how advanced mesothelioma cancer is using this system. T stands for the extent of the tumor, N for how advanced the disease is in the lymph nodes and M for the extent of spread of the cancer into other organs.

• Stage I – Mesothelioma is restricted to the pleura of the chest and has not spread to other areas.

• Stage II – The cancer has spread to the pleural lining and to the outer lining of the lung or into the lung itself.

• Stage III – In addition to the pleura, mesothelioma spreads to part of the chest cavity behind the breast bone or within the chest wall. This stage also usually includes cancer of the lymph nodes.

• Stage IV – The most advanced of the mesothelioma stages, when cancer has spread to major organs or the bones or brain. Metastasis refers to the generalized spreading of the cancer.

Each individual case of mesothelioma is different and these stages are not the only factors that determine the type of treatment and the prognosis of the disease. Other factors come into consideration.

Unfortunately, nobody is going to be able to accurately answer that question for you; because it isn’t known. There is no ‘standard’ for “If I smoke x amount of cigars/cigarettes/marijuana/whatever” per day…then it will be x amount of time until I get lung cancer”.

For some people, it has not been very long. Others, it was for a very long time. It depends on a lot of factors. But if you care enough to consider how long you could smoke them before getting lung cancer…do you really think that you would accurately find a time to quit “just in time”? Damage is done after you smoke for a while…that’s not reversible, and makes your general cancer risk much higher than normal.

If you want a real way to avoid cancer, stay in shape, take care of your body, and don’t smoke anything – your lungs are meant to breathe air, not smoke.

Oh yeah, and your body is still growing…so you risk hindering your body, as well.

My father had cancer, and I shall tell you something now… it will not be easy for your friend. To see a loved one who has always been a strong person go through such a degrading illness is painful. You have already proved yourself as a wonderful person and a true friend by seeking advise off others to improve your friend and her mothers situation!
With my father, we made sure that we got a second opinion, he had bowel cancer, the doctors said that he could have the tumor removed and then start on chemotherapy, but the cancer only got worse. We went to several doctors, but they all came out with the same answer, and in the end all we could do is make sure that he was as comfortable as possible, until his last day.
I am not for one second saying that your friends mother shall have the same outcome as my dads there have been many people who have survived cancer, but the only thing you can all do is be strong, seek a second opinion (to give you piece of mind) and remain positive! I hope I have helped you in some way…?
Love and light
