You can get hemp oil in  Asda and Tesco, it's sold under the name of Good Oil. It's in the cooking oil section and is usually around a fiver for a 500ml bottle.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Thanks

There are some on amazon that say 400mg 4% 10ml bottle.

There have been studies that help with shrinking cancer.  Does anyone know more about this.  Which one to buy?

If I was to make my own what would the % be?

Anyone have information about hemp oil cbds and cancer?

Thanks

My limited knowledge of hemp oil comes through using it for fishing. What I do know is that the stuff sold in the supermarkets is about as good as it gets. You can also get some in health food shops but it is basically all the same as it is produced from one factory that produces all the hemp oil in this country.
Producing your own would require vast amounts of hemp seed which is quite expensive (around £40!for a 25k sack) and specialised equipment to actually crush the seed to collect the oil.

I've long read and enjoyed RAWK, it's a real community and although I don't post I'm very grateful I've been able to be on here for so long.

I've found both the depression and alcohol threads to be a life line at times. I've never looked in this thread before because cancer scares the shit out of me, I've already lost far too many family members due to it.

Less than 3 weeks ago we found my Dad has Stage 4 colon cancer with secondaries in several places. If he makes it to Christmas we are very lucky, life is surreal right now.

There's more I need to say about the whole thing but I'm not sure if now is the time
Henderson has been very good in patches and if he had the confidence of Shelvey he would be some player.

My Dad's been moved to St.Luke's now, which is a small blessing as he's much happier there.

We've been told he has 2-4 weeks left now, it is hard to believe how fast this has come about.  :(

It's a strange and upsetting time that doesn't feel real. All you can do is take things day by day and just be there. Try to stay as strong as you can and remind him why his life will be something to celebrate and remember with pride.

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer a month and a half back, with a 2.5cm tumour. Had her surgery 4 weeks ago, but her scans show there's still cancerous tissue left over. We were hoping the one surgery would be enough, along with radiation as was suggested. There's another operation scheduled for November, so fingers crossed.

Was absolutely heartbroken when I found out. Complete breakdown, if you will. But she doesn't know that and I'll remain strong for her.

Cancer really is a c*nt of a disease, and you never think it's going to affect you or someone close to you. It's quite surreal, to be honest.

My 29,000th post and exactly 10 years RAWK membership today has to be dedicated to something. It could have been in a thread about how wonderful the autumn colours are today, there are truly spectacular colours everywhere. I can't recall such a year like this, the battle of yellows, greens, deep reds and brilliant golden brown images swaying for attention is amazing.

But my post has to be in here and acknowledgement of the strength people have fighting this vile disease. The scientists researching a cure, the professionals engaged in diagnosis and treatment, the staff involved in after care and the people that battle the fucking thing. Enjoy those colours today and tomorrow and until we've won the league another 18 times.

Well said John.

Quick update on my sister-in-law. Had all her chemo and just had a mastectomy. Some radio to come and results of the post-op tests. She remains incredibly positive and the video of her ringing the bell (a tradition there) with a big grin on her face after her last treatment reduced us all to tears :)

Thoughts with everyone battling this twat of a disease. Keep fighting, never give up.

She is 59.

I am someone who has at least, met with his MP, and given out the cliché question, why is the defence budget sky high when so many people get cancer?

Update, she was taken from Newcastle Freeman Hospital to a Hospice and she was in there only 4 days then it was decided that she was to be taken home so she could be with the family who love her.  She died peacefully in her sleep last Thursday.  It seems so surreal to me, less than 3 months ofter finding out she had cancer she died.

Sorry to hear that Paul. Just heard from a mate who's had the same terrible news about his missus.  Late30s, never smoked. Such a horrible,  unfair thing to go through.
That is terrible and i am sorry to hear it.  Late 30's is nothing at all, I'm 36 myself.

Used to be one in five. You might say the games crooked...

But I know people who got it and it was never mentioned again.

One lad I know got brain cancer at 18, wtf?? He is alright now. You wouldn't know, you just wouldn't.

Trust the doctors. Do make sure someone in your family can be on the bounce... They're only people too. You need to just, pursue things.

The c word is not a death sentence, it just isn't. People get the fear early. Fear is natural, it should encourage action.

We should, be vigilant. Life is short.

Heard during the match my cousin who was diagnosed back in 2007 has been taken into palliative care. He was up going on walks for the first time in a while in November, and now this. Mad he's managed to battle on for so many years, in an odd way the disease almost became normalised to us all. Cancer is a c**t.

It's horrible.

I'll be blunt. I lost my mum to it, and was there for everything from a lump to eventual death, I was there every step of the way. I've also worked in the NHS, I know the processes etc.

I'll check into this thread every so often to see if I can help, and by and large I don't want to think about it beyond giving to charity and my own remembrance.

If anyone wants someone realistic, nice, and impartial to talk to, sling me a PM :) But this thread is boss in that it's somewhere to turn.

It's a big and scary thing and it touches many lives when it shows up. The best thing to do is stay vigilant and crack on, and support those who need your support as life is easiest when there's no regrets.

Thanks for posting. Needed some positive news. Lost my Dad to it two years ago, sister-in-law battling it, and my mum's just been diagnosed with it. Feels like it's everywhere at the moment.

Fair play to these people who agree to clinical trials of new drugs. Must be so important to the process and great when it works out so positively. This one sounds interesting and promising.

So.......

Here I am, previous post in the RAWK Darts prediction league and now to this!

Haven't spoken to anyone in 'real' life about this but I think I have found a lump and needed to write it somewhere to avoid going mad. I have booked a doctor appointment for 28th February to have it checked out but, in the meantime, I am absolutely shit scared. I had a non-meligant tumour (if that is that the right word for it) cut out of my head about 8 years ago but I have a feeling that this is something worse.

Thing is, I don't want to tell my other half because she will be terrified because we are best friends and we would both be lost without eachother (not that i'm saying that it will come to that but it's just scary).

I'm normally the jack the lad type of bloke who keeps shit hidden so it's hard to talk to anyone about feelings like this which is why I have written it here.

Got my kids (who are 8 and 9) tonight and so need to keep it all together and just going to have to count down the days until the 28th and try and stay positive around those closest to me  :butt

Anyway, sorry about that but where better to put your shit on the line than amongst fellow reds!!

Where's the lump?

I discovered a change in one of my testies a year ago. It had become larger and sore so I went to the doc who immediately sent me to a scan at a clinic. The scan showed testicular cancer so I had it removed and fortunately for me it was encapsulated and hadn't spread at all. Fast forward a year and I've been to one check up which was negative (positive for me) and I have another check up coming in April. If that turns out negative too I'm good to go on living without anymore check ups. Needless to say I'm chuffed that things are looking like they are.

The reason for telling my story is that no matter what you can't know what's wrong until you've had tests done. It's SOOO easy to tell you not to worry so I will not. What I will suggest is that you do talk to your partner no matter how terrified she'll be. Being best friends she'll be able to tell from a mile off that something's wrong. So to avoid any misunderstandings I'll strongly recommend you talk to her. I'm like you - I keep problems to myself but when I discovered my tumor I had to tell my missus. I couldn't keep it from her and man was she a help when I needed it. I also told my children (10 and 13 at the time) so they knew why I wasn't my usual self all the time. You'll find talking about it will ease your mind a bit and you'll all know why everything isn't normal.

Fingers crossed here mate - let us know what the doc says on the 28th. :wave

Hi mate, it feels like a lump in one of the testicles but it's hard to say but they have felt sore now for a few days.

Sounds stupid but I kind of felt the lump and then couldn't bring myself to check any further as I panicked!

From the start of last week, I had what felt like a groin strain but now it appears to have moved round so it feels uncomfortable when sitting (or riding my bike). Not painful as such, just discomfort. I know I haven't banged them on anything or had a knock or anything.

I looked up some stuff on line and it mentioned that it might be a hernia (among 5000 other things!) so I emailed a mate of mine who has had a hernia and the symptoms sound kind of similar but not identical but looks like I will need an ultrasound either way.

Don't have the kids tonight so gonna have a word with my other half this evening. She will insist I check them straight away so i'm bracing myself for that this evening. I will need a few beers first to build up a bit of dutch courage!!

Stay young and invincible. Come what may we're unstoppable.

Sounds like a good idea to go see the doc asap. Not that there's anything wrong necessarily but to get certain what's wrong if anything.

How did it go talking to your partner?

IF (big IF I mean) there's a malignant tumor in your testicle it's kind of reassuring that testicular cancer is a rather "peaceful" type of cancer. 99% are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed with it if the cancer hasn't spread and the last 1% is not necessarily dead from the cancer, so for what it's worth it's a "good" type if you know what I mean.

If you have any questions after send me a PM. I'm not too much on here but I'll answer when I see your message. ;)

I seen him tonight and he found out he has gone into remission . I think he said it's complete remission .

I've got nothing but respect for this young lad.

So here I am.

On 19/12/2016 I noticed a peculiar mole/freckle on Mr. Irish Su and insisted he got it checked out. He did and on 13/01/2017 he had it duly removed. Results were back on 10/02/2017 and we were told it was a melanoma. In situ. Not the worst news in the world and it required another procedure to remove more skin to 'be on the safe side'. That was eventually carried out on 09/03/2017 and we still await results but the consultant on the day was satisfied it was just a formality.

Roll back to 10/02/2017, the day we got the 'melanoma' result. That morning I was showering and felt a lump. I thought, hello, where did you come from. I'm a 45 year old healthy female. I've had various 'lumps' over the years that all transpired to be benign growths or cysts. This felt different though. I waited until 10/03/2017 to visit my GP - to establish if it was due to my monthly cycle and would it just disappear as quickly as it arrived. It didn't.

Things have moved at a tremendous rate since then. Thursday gone, I was diagnosed with breast cancer - the type/stage is not yet confirmed. This Thursday I will be meeting with my 'team' to discuss my surgery options and therapy. If truth be known I knew since 10/02/2017 when I first felt it. I have never backed down from a fight in my life and it now looks like I'm embarking on the fight of my life! So be it. My family and friends have been fantastic and I have no doubt they will continue to be. I have a 19 year old son so I plan on going no where for a long time.

I don't post much on RAWK but decided this might be somewhat cathartic. You really couldn't make up the time line/circumstances but it is what it is. May God grant me strength to see this fight through.

Walk on Irish Su - shite disease that I've also got form with. Don't let it define you - face the fucker down. Cancer is a label and NOT a life sentence: give it your positive best 😘

Try this out - I've got a different cancer to you and use a different section of this site - has helped me LOADS:
