In today’s video, I’ll take you on a journey back to 2013, recounting the moment I first discovered my brain tumor. I was taking Accutane, a medication for acne, when I started experiencing unbearable headaches and strange disturbances in my vision. Despite trying to ignore these symptoms initially, a concerning incident led me to reveal the truth to my doctor, who recommended an immediate visit to the emergency room.
In the emergency room, a CAT scan revealed a large inflamed mass in my head, suspected to be a tumor, leading doctors to consider immediate brain surgery. However, seeking a second opinion from a neurologist offered a less drastic immediate approach. I started taking steroids to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, while a future MRI was scheduled to monitor the tumor.
Around this time, I decided to take control of my health in a unique way—I opted for medical marijuana, specifically cannabis oil. After research and personal experience, I found that cannabis had several beneficial properties that might aid in my situation, including strong anti-inflammatory properties. Taking cannabis oil for two years, I was largely symptom-free, and subsequent visits to the neurosurgeon showed promising results.
However, things took a turn for the worse when the stress of caring for my sick mother triggered a resurgence of my symptoms, which had become much more severe. This led to the discovery that my tumor had tripled in size and become active with malignant tissue, necessitating my first major brain surgery. This eventually led to a diagnosis of stage three glioma in 2015, with a prognosis of two to four years.
Refusing to accept my numbered days, I stuck to my guns, continuing cannabis oil treatment, switching to a healthier diet, and even taking myself off chemotherapy. Amazingly, I remained cancer-free for seven years. Join me in this video as I delve deeper into my journey, sharing my experience with medical marijuana and the power of taking control of one’s own health.
