Cannabis for Stage 4 Cancer

#Cannabis is actually something a lot of people with #stage #4 #cancer actually use. Some people do feel a bit fearful about the subject, and with cannabis, it can help with reducing #pain, #anxiety, and even #depression and such.

 

Stages of Cancer

Cancer comes in four stages. The first one is the situ stage, where it’s been found, and usually something they treat immediately. Usually, the treatment does involve surgery, radiation, and medications for up to 4 years afterwards, and they look at the location frequently to ensure the cancer cells don’t return.

 

Stage two is usually when the tumor has been found within the lymph nodes, however they usually look to treat those cells and get them into remission before it grows in other area.

Stage three is usually found deep within the #lymph #nodes. This is the area that gives nutrients to the body, with the lymph nodes feeding a lot of cells, and the fluid gets carried to other parts of the body as well.

 

Usually there are two types, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. There is also acute lymphocytic leukemia, and usually, testing the lymph node tells you where it originated.

 

Finally, there is stage 4 where it’s professed past the need for medical intervention, and usually, if it’s progressed without any chance of stopping it, the main focus is on care, with some choosing to stop radiation and chemotherapy, and instead focused on hospice care.

 

Compassionate Care

As cancer starts to become a part of the human body, there are usually no signs at first, but then over time, people start to notice more and more signs. This can be traumatizing and impact the well-being of people. Many people who do have cancer have issues with their mental health, and for a good reason.

 

#Compassion care usually involves looking for other #solutions, and marijuana has become a very popular way to treat this.

This is because opioid use has actually been a major problem, with it starting to show up more and more. many people don’t realize how they’re starting to take more and more, becoming addicted to it.

 

It can also cause sensitivity, which causes more pain, along with confusion, euphoria, constipation, slowed breathing, and a lot of fatigue.

 

How Cannabis Helps

 

For those families who have decided that compassion care is the best way to help their loved one, they may consider possibly using cannabis for this. It can be something that makes it easier for those with terminal diagnosis.

 

Appetite stimulation is a big part, as cancer medications and

even the procedures cut off the good #bacteria in your gut, making it hard to eat.

 

Cannabis can help get people to actually eat, and it can help those with wasting disease too.

 

It also helps with pain issues too, as another major part of this is pain in the body, especially since many of the medical treatments involve a lot of procedures which can be incredibly painful. Plus, with more and more people looking for alternatives to #opioids, It can be something that can help a patient get the help that they need.

 

Finally, it does improve the mood. For those with #terminal #cancer, it’s not easy. They may feel fatigued and fearful, with even those who are very strong emotionally feeling this. It can be good for them, giving them some energy, and it can help to amplify the #energy and improve your focus, even a little bit, reducing #anxiety and other problems too.

 

So it helps those with stage 4 cancer quite a bit with living their life.
