Leukemia Stage Zero, Stable Numbers
My story begins like so many others. I bought into all the hype that the cannabis plant was taboo, harmful and was of no value. I held this belief until March, 2012. In March of 2012 I was diagnosed with Leukemia (CLL). My doctor at the time told me I had a garden variety of CLL and the median survival at the time was 10 years. Wait! What! I was 59 at the time. I really did not hear anything after that. My wife and I were, to say the least, very upset, shaken to the core and went thru the many ups and downs a diagnosis of this nature would present to anyone. I knew I was not a candidate for chemotherapy or radiation due to the fact that I cannot keep down any strong pain killers. So my exploring began. I ran across several articles that cannabis holds this awesome power to possibly help. I knew literally zero about this plant. Since Idaho Law prohibits anything with THC, I began to explore other options in the CBD only world. I came across GlobalCBD, out of Sandpoint. My goal was to keep my numbers from going up and possibly keep them in check. I have been using various forms of CBD for 9 years. My numbers are stable . My stage is zero. I am under a watch and wait with no treatment. While my case is not the most severe, I felt it was important to tell. The reason I joined in the petition collection is both personal and to get this God given plant off the forbidden list and into mainstream medicine. Thank you for your time! Join the fight!
