Episode 415 Transcript:

Welcome to Cannabis Health Radio, a podcast where we share stories from people around the world who are using cannabis as medicine. The information is meant to raise awareness about the health benefits of cannabis,

which should not be taken as medical advice. Now, here are your hosts, Ian Jessop, and Corrie Yelland Welcome to the cannabis health radio podcast.

I'm Ian Jessop. And I'm Corrie Yelland. In the years we've been doing this program, we've only had one interview related to neuroblastoma, which is a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. It most commonly affects children aged five or younger. Our guest today is going to tell us the story of her son diagnosed with neuroblastoma as an adult.

And joining us from London in the UK is Catherine who doesn't want us to use her last name so we won't. Catherine thanks for doing this and you know in reading the write -up you sent us I can't imagine what your son has gone through and you along with him.

Now it's been nearly five years since the original diagnosis. What is the journey being like for him and and yourself? Wow,

that's a big question. Well, when he was first diagnosed, it was such a shock because the tumor started in his smell nerve and it had eaten away at the sinus bones behind his eyes, wrapped around his eyes and it was as big as a small orange. It was enormous and we just couldn't believe it. He went into hospital and was kept in because of his saline levels and a nose bleed and we were so blessed because an amazing ENT surgeon was doing rounds the next day after his admittance and she simply said to us is the nose nosebleed always on one side and she sent him straight for a scan and she brought us into a side room and showed us the images and and it was really she said she you know like looking at the literature they tried to find people with this situation and it was as you say it's normally in children it had also eaten away through the base of the skull and the tumor had pushed up into the brain.

So from the imaging they didn't know if it was entangled with the brain, they didn't know if it was entangled with the eyes. So we had, she had a month to stabilize his condition and he spent quite a while in intensive care because of the salt levels in his body and then was was prepared for surgery.

Now I work with Reiki and I have a lot of friends who are complementary health practitioners and we kind of got on the case so everybody started sending Reiki, he went immediately on homeopathy, we tried to get cannabis at that point but in England we didn't have the capacity to get it at that point and then he had a very like the operation line.

About seven hours and they went in through his nose, cut out the tumour through his nose, another surgeon they cut out a diamond shaped out of his forehead, went in through his brain so he had an ENT surgeon and a neurosurgeon and they basically spent eight hours cutting out that tumour. Now it turned out it hadn't gone into the brain and it hadn't hadn't he didn't lose his eyes and it didn't damage his brain so that was the prognosis that that they could both happen and I really think that was a miracle at that stage that and neither of those things happened and when he went just for listeners how old was your son at that stage 20 22,

22. Thank you. Yeah, so they didn't know how long it had been growing for because normally it's quite a slow -growing tumor and they reckoned it could have been you know since probably the age of 16 or 17.

Now I do remember when he was 16 he fell down a stairs head first, face first and smashed up his nose and and all of that kind, like, you know, ended up quite battered. And, you know, that could have been a shock that started it at that stage. That was the, you know, who knows, it could have been latent there from when he was a child.

I don't, you know, nobody knows that kind of thing. But yes, it's very rare and very rare in adults. So for him,

it was like they felt they had got all the tumor out but they wanted him to do what's that word like radiotherapy just in case you know even though there was no visible sign of any cancer left and that in itself was a miracle that they'd managed to remove so much tumor from such a tricky area.

So now he has no smell nerve, they managed to make a seal between the brain and the sinuses. He did suffer a period of brain inflammation. And you know, we had a few tricky days, very tricky days in intensive care where he was, you know, hallucinating and brain fever and all of that kind of stuff. And funny, when he went for the radiotherapy a few months later. later the oncologist said oh right hello so I didn't I wasn't expecting such a cosmetically pleasing result when he read Sean's case and I thought it was amazing that I mean it really felt like he was blessed and that he was blessed that he didn't lose his eye I mean losing your smell is one thing you know he'll never get that back and But losing your eye is

you know quite a different scenario. So, yeah Catherine what was his response to getting this diagnosis because he's a young man when he gets this diagnosis and Last thing you're thinking about in your early 20s is getting sick.

It's about you want to get out there and have some fun Yeah, I mean he's quite incredible Corey He he was he really is he's kind of very inquisitive by nature, so he was really into the whole process of what the surgery was. He got the surgeon to take photos of the operation and then they were, because she was doing it as a lecture operation and there was lots of people watching because it was quite a complex operation.

So I remember she and he going through all the photos of the operation afterwards. Now I couldn't look at them. I mean, I just, it was just ghastly. But he kind of approached it, well, this is just something I've got to get through and I've got to get on with it. And, you know, he was so grateful to all the staff at the hospital. And, you know,

we met some amazing people and we met some incredibly kind people. And he had this experience. experience that he never imagined he'd have and it was just well,

I'm just going to get on with it. So he was in the middle of his second year of his degree and they said to him to stop studying and he said I can't if I haven't got something to hang on to I won't get through this.

So he carried on doing his studies. I remember when he was having his radio therapy he was getting the having a treatment then getting the train down to sit an exam,

then coming back to have his treatment the next day, and that he was having them timetable his treatments around his exams. And now we're talking at two opposite ends of the country, you know.

So it was really extraordinary. He was just so determined that this wasn't going to stop him and impact on his life. you know, so yeah.

And they really felt that the chances of a recurrence of a neuroblastoma are apparently quite low as well, so and fortunately for him,

the neuroblastoma doesn't react with chemo, so they didn't suggest doing chemo with him at that stage either, so come kind of...

January, so he was diagnosed in August 2019, come January 2020. He was ready for his term abroad, he went off to Italy,

and he wanted to work at the Ferrari faculty in Modena University. That has been a dream of his, because they have this amazing wind tunnel,

and he came back two weeks later. later for a medical appointment on the Friday And on the Sunday, Italy went into lockdown with coronavirus So, I mean,

I felt he was very blessed that he wasn't locked down in a city where he didn't know anyone and uni was Stranded and everything and I felt really blessed. He was here The fact that he didn't have any of his possessions was tricky.

Um, but yeah, so he he kind of got off with it, to be honest. And he hoped it was done, but they had told him that if he doesn't have a recurrence for two years,

he's got a much stronger chance of staying free of cancer. So his second diagnosis was a month before that two years was up. So that was really good.

So he got his results of a biopsy. on his left lymph node the day that he got his results of a first in his masters and his degree.

So it was a really bittersweet day, but that was a tumor in his left lymph node,

much less scary surgery, much more straightforward operation. and again the medical model was go in,

we'll take out all your left lymph nodes, fortunately they decided not to do the right ones as well, at the same time I was really saying like God you need those lymph nodes,

you know they're just so important for keeping your body clean and everything, but yeah so he went in for surgery in so that was I think 21,

and radiotherapy again to the whole neck area. And I think at that stage,

that was much more difficult for him because it was like, well here I am, I want to get started with my life. And actually he couldn't face. he went to Whistler in Canada,

he went skiing and he just didn't feel confident enough to go out into the employment market, he was just like I just want to have some adventures,

I just want to kick back, it's been really grim, so he did ski season in Whistler that winter. winter and then stayed on that summer and then again The next year again,

just couldn't think about the future and he said I don't I just can't think about a future So I don't know if I have a future, you know, I think when you face death like that So,

um, yeah, so he did two years in Whistler and he was just coming to the end of his time in Whistler This was 2023 and we went out to see him just shortly before he came back and he was starti

In 2021 our guest had a miscarriage and then six months later she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She underwent conventional treatment but her cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. She stopped conventional treatment when she was told about using cannabis oil and Kim, from England, has now had her third clear scan.

Russell Langhammer was working at the Dallas Airport during a freak winter storm when he fell and broke his back. Over the years, he was taking opioids for the pain but they negatively changed his personality and gave him heart problems, resulting in him receiving a pacemaker. But thanks to cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms, he is off opioids and back to his old self.

After being checked for a persistent cough, it was revealed that she had a 14.5 centimeter (6 inch) tumor in her chest. After several chemotherapy sessions, Kelly Doering of Colorado felt the chemo was doing more damage than the cancer, so she relied exclusively on cannabis for her treatment and now is cancer free. Kelly has written a book about her journey entitled: Rocky Mountain High Priestess.

After she got the Anthrax vaccine when she was in the military, Robyn's health started to decline. Over the course of the last two decades, she has had 17 surgeries to deal with numerous health issues. She uses cannabis to deal with her latest health issue: stiff person syndrome. Robyn joins us from North Carolina to share her interesting story.

Last summer, Susan Skarbek of Vancouver, Washington was told she had stage 4 anal canal cancer with the tumor hitting her rectum and invading her vagina and two lymph nodes. She did one round of chemotherapy but refused to continue because of the side effects. She did numerous rounds of proton radiation but was told she faced radical surgeries if it didn't clear up. However, when she began using cannabis oil, and had a checkup a few weeks ago, doctors were shocked that her original tumor was gone.

After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in October of 2021, Nicola Steers of the UK refused conventional treatment and decided to clean up her diet and use cannabis oil to deal with her MS. When she went for a scan in November of last year, no new lesions had formed and the prominent lesion on her brain had been drastically reduced.
