Recently I had a family tragedy. My wife's sister was diagnosed with lung cancer and after a biopsy, she was sent home.

A blood clot worked it's way loose from the test site, went to her lung and killed her. She was thirty-four.

Obviously the whole family was devastated. I tried to get her to start smoking herb, to try to save her, but by the time the package arrived she was gone.

My wife came home and her doctor started CAT scans to see if she was all right, ( she's the older sister ). Two small spots were found, one on the left and one on the right.

Needless to say the doctors were concerned, but after two specialists, they said because they were so small, they thought it best to leave them alone.

Fast forward to two weeks before Christmas. Another CAT scan and we are waiting for the results. The doctor called, at night, and told her how the two tumor's were showing growth and they would need to be surgically removed. Two weeks before Christmas. We didn't tell the kids so as not ruin their Christmas, but we had to tell them because her first surgery was scheduled for Jan. tenth.

We went thru the surgery, and guess what? My wife stopped smoking cigarettes! I've been trying to get her to stop for ten years and she finally stopped! I couldn't believe it.

Now, of course knowing that herb has been shown to be extremely helpful in some cases with lung tumors, I finally had her read the stories here on MJ.com to show her that we know what we're talking about when we say herb is a medicine.

She read the articles and I finally got her to start using the herb! She said it makes her feel better all over, just one or two hits. It kills her nausea and most of all, if she keeps up, it may just break her lung cancer.

The second surgery was Tuesday of last week, and she's home now. She's more uncomfortable this time so I have been hovering a little more, which she hates, but hey, I love her and there's nothing she can do about it.

She's still off the smokes and still toking away. For the first time since I've been with her, she's not smoking. That is a miracle in itself. She's also toking up, and I will keep you informed about it and what if any progress is being made on her breathing.

She has already said she wants to eat it, so I will be trying a few new recipes out.

She has also said that she can take one hit and feel her breathing passages open up instead of close down and I notice she becomes much more relaxed with her breathing after a few tokes when she's stoned.

So that's pretty much it. Herb has helped another person who really needs it. Too bad for the ones who don't have it, but soon maybe they will......

I will keep you posted on Mrs. Ded as she progresses. Thanks for listening....

Sorry to hear about your wife's sister. But its great to hear medical marijuana helping yet another person in this world. Hope your wife feels better and stays healthy. Take care.

Have you seen any credible evidence that marijuana can reduce tumors/cure lung cancer in human beings? The only ones I've seen are in vitro studies in which tumors in tissue cultures were reduced by the addition of cannabinoids. This kind of study often uses concentrations of chemicals that could never be achieved in the human body.

Here are a couple that I let her read, and one, ( I can't remember which one ) lists her cancer specifically as one that it is affected by herb.
