Think yourself lucky it's not radiotherapy.

Yes, being in remission for two years and six months from angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a very positive sign, as most relapses for this aggressive cancer happen earlier. [1, 2]

Understanding Remission and Relapse Risk

• • Lower Risk Over Time: AITL is a fast-growing (aggressive) type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that carries a high risk of coming back (relapsing), usually within the first two years after finishing treatment. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Passing the Milestone: Reaching the two-and-a-half-year mark means the patient has passed the highest-risk window for early recurrence, which indicates that the initial treatment was deeply effective. [1, 2]

I loathed chemo. Radiotherapy was bad enough, surgery was grim but chemo was awful. The only thing that helped was cannabis. Lots of it.

When Mrs D was at her worst with MS, before the docs got a grip on her treatment, I seriously considered the wacky baccy for her. After all, I knew who to go and see to get it. Fortunqtely she refused, was worried about my job if id been caught, but I'd have done it for her.

Having a cannabis drink each morning diminished the nausea amazingly well. I could then hold down my pain meds instead of vomiting them up. I used less oramorph as a result.

When my mum had chemo it actually made her eyesight slightly better! Not only that but it cleared up her Eczema that she'd suffered with since childhood too. but the wildest one, was she always had slightly wavy blonde hair, when it grew back after the chemo the first time around, it came back jet black and curly, she was mortified lol!

Cannabis was certainly a big help for my dad during his treatment, it really helped with a variety of side effects and helped his appetite a huge amount!
