Hello everyone,
My mother who is 73 just got diagnosed with myeloma this past week, they found it because she was anemic and they didn't know why until they did some testing including a bone marrow biopsy.

I am looking for personal testimonials if anybody in here has used marijuana in their fight against myeloma. I am determined to give my mother the best chance that I can, thank you so much.

I am 82 and was diagnosed 5 years ago. was on oral chemo month and half when all meds messed me up. took me off everything and now I just have on BP, lasik,and potassium due to CHF. My numbers for MM have not required any chemo since. I did have lesion on pelvic in 2019-10 radiation treatments and now it is gone. I do the ACV and honey, tumeric, and 5m Vit D everyday. Dr says whatever I am doing to keep it up. MM is slow growing, and I think my remedy has slowed it down. Already said I will not do chemo again and just pray I have no more lesions as they are so painful. feel so blessed. See cancer Dr every three or four months for blood work. Sending prayer to your Mom.
