That seems pretty rude to suggest that someone could have done something differently to avoid getting cancer or should have ignored the advice of a medical professionals in how to best treat their cancer. Sometimes people are pretty tactless when it comes to subjects like this. I'm sure most people just want to help.
I am somewhat curious about the marijuana oil thing though. I apologize if I'm out of line here, given what you said, but I am interested in your opinion on marijuana oil. With several doctors in my family, it is something that comes up occasionally and has always interested me personally. Is this something that you have tried/considered or is it not something that you are willing to get involved with? Have you been able to use regular marijuana to treat the side effects, like nausea and lack of appetite? I live in a state where it is legal for both medical and recreational use, so it isn't all that taboo around here really. Most people I know are all for it. I assume you've done some research into the matter since your diagnosis, so I am just curious what your experience has been. Some people endlessly extoll its virtues, some people say it is all nonsense and hype. The conclusion that I came to was that I would give it a shot, along side chemo, if I were ever to be diagnosed with cancer (depending on the type), since the oil is so easy to get or make here in my state. My SO has been paranoid about a lump she has been feeling this week and I'm trying to get her to see a doctor about it, so this post has me even more nervous now.
Anyway, thanks for the AMA. I hope this didn't offend. If so, downvote away. You will be better before you know it!
