Re: Cannabis and cancer

Hi Jen,

I would be among the last people to disagree with you about the question of choosing chemotherapies. Sheila is a very intelligent woman as we know, and her decisions were somewhat different from mine about it, and different from your feelings about that. Given that there is no sure answer for treatment for her, whether or not she chooses other types of drugs now and/or hospice, try to advise her as best you can and then give her the comfort of your support with her decisions. We care a lot about you both and are sorry for every bit of this struggle you both are dealing with.
