Q: Hi Susun.
My mother has undergone brain cancer tumor surgery just recently and the steroids she is on are the only thing helping her ... when they ran out last week she stopped eating completely ..which is what happened a couple of weeks after the surgery.. I'm wondering how long they'll be able to keep her on the steroids as I know Karen Joy had concerns about those ? She has access to straight THC powder and I was hoping you would know the amount to use daily for her. She had two angioplast surgeries in the past and I know that her heart rate might increase with the use of marijuana. So if you have any idea or a doctor who could tell us. Please, because shortly they will have to stop using the medicine and I'm afraid that that will be her demise. Thanks in advance
... We are in BC Canada ...
A: Hello, Susun does not have internet. Justine and I answer emails for this reason. This time of year Susun takes off of her free phone consultation night to be able to focus on home and writing books. I am sorry she can not answer for you. Did you try the forum or email group I have mentioned? In the book i mentioned, Susun writes about smoking marijuana as the best way...
Blessings,
Karen Joy

Q: Hi there,
If I had the cancer .. no problem , i smoke it daily to ward off anything i might have lurking ? Being 49 and my mom's first lung operation was when she was around 52 i think ? You can see my health worries? But she has had two lobes removed and doesn't smoke ? So I thought the straight THC power which she can attain easily where they live...could be of a big help. I have sent them pages of emails from forums that show how THC will help ... not sure if they'll listen as they think because i smoke it ... i must be crazy ? They are in their 80's so it's hard to change. I'm just hoping she'll keep eating once they remove the steroids out of her daily diet. My dad thinks she's okay because when she's on them she's able to do things. But they are really damaging so I'm not sure what's going to happen next . I've actually had quite a problem relating this info to them ? My 55 year old brother is also against marijuana and has been all of MY life....disregarding any good that I can do ...he has put me down but went on drinking and driving etc ? So I will hope to hear good things from somewhere. If you get any info on the amount to put in a gel cap ( straight power form) please do let us know so I can at least try it when or if the time comes they allow me to care for her. I'm suppose to be the person who gets that job when my dad can't do it? NOt sure if that will happen now. Thanks anyways and do keep in touch.
A: In Breast Cancer? Breast Health! Susun writes: "Isn't smoking bad for the lungs? No. Smoking herbs from a pipe is a traditional medicinal treatment to open the bronchi and warm and tone lung tissues. Unless you're allergic to all smoke, your respiratory system will appreciate an occasional gentle 'smoking.'" When helping others we often have to learn about them and work from there. The leap from where they are in life to what WE might do if in the same situation may be too big to be worth taking when life is tenuous enough already. Perhaps knowing more of what they are comfortable with you can choose from a list of choices what might best help. It is not just about what option we use, but how we work with those we care about to help them feel safe, knowing we value their comfort levels.
Love and Blessings,

JUSTYNA, I am unfamiliar with these supplements or drugs. What do you wish recommendation for? Do you wish focus on getting rid of all the cancer from your body, stopping it from spreading, feeling comfortable, enjoying what is left of your life?
I first most recommend anything that is loving towards yourself, anything that you find nourishing, not so much just comforting, but deeply nourishing.
love,
Karen Joy
