Whooeee... apologies for dipping out so melodramatically. I've been trading haymakers with esophageal cancer for a year now and have hit the canvas more times than I care to count. Sadly, after some hang time in the valley of the shadow, I got no deep insights for ya'll. Perhaps only to share my realization that the very worst part of cancer is that you're constantly traumatizing all of your loved ones, and can't do anything about it. The look in thier eyes, the one they struggle and fail to hide, is crushing. My approach has been a gentle openess, and a conditionless forbearance focused on their emotional needs. Neither brutal bluntness nor attempting to hide things appear to have any utility (I'm talking adults here, btw).
They got the tumour out cleanly (which is a good thing considering they took my esophageous with it, lol) yet part of my recovery's still sorta stalled out in the sense that I can't tolerate much more than 10% of my daily calories taken orally - so I'm still attached to a feeding pump all day and night. It could be worse, besides, the people of Canada bought me the 1000$ pump, all the bags and minor hardwear supplies, and 100% of the special feed I need, for as long as I need it, delivered monthly by a happy-chatty deliveryman. In otherwords, my personal monthly grocery budget is zero, zilch, nada, 0$. So to all of the Canucks out there I'd like to thank you for all chipping in to save my life. I wont forget it.
I've not been taking THC for months due to some meds I was taking but I've got some good oil (tears) on hand and I'm gonna try jumpstarting my gastro-system with it. Hopefully it will help the nausea AND give me an appetite back.
Alll I managed over the summer was my veggie garden, but the 12, 35-gal SIPs crushed it again this year and allowed me to devote my huge raised bed 100% to potatoes (which I planted then totally ignored). Wish I could eat some of it! I could not have had a garden this year if it wasnt for SIPs because of thier massively reduced workload. So even as I went through chemoradiation, major surgery, and brutal complications, I was able to supply 100's of pounds of fresh food to the household and neighbourhood - provided they came and got it! Still blows my mind.
I'll look for some pics, didnt take much, if any this year...but the SIPs just "yolo'd" and produced like mad while I was forced to ignore them for weeks at a stretch. Gonna do indoor veg in one 5x5 this winter and one 5x5 Cannabis (all SIPs, duh). Just gotta get outta bed first.

Highya RD,
I commend you on your approach with family members. Great teaching period. You know that they love you when they care!! Sad about the cannabis, but I hope you'll get back to it for it's healing properties! Do you have any relief from the pain and all the rest? So sorry you had to go through this. I hope you can have Happy Smokin'

Don't overlook a CBD option or even CBG to round things out. If nothing else a little bit of the others makes THC much more effective, but they also have their own benefits as well.
Your body's CB1 receptors, which are what THC primarily binds to, are mostly located only in the brain and nervous system, think nerves and the like.
But the CB2 receptors are mostly located in the rest of the body like organs, skin and lymph system and CBD looks for those.
And with one of my fav CSNY tunes! Welcome back Dog!
You could really lower your workload if you give Otter's early sexing method a shot. Here's his description (I believe from Rev's book):
It's so nice to have you back and posting and letting us in on both sides of your journey through the process. I hope that it's management from here on out and the sadness in your loved ones eyes will fade as they have you with them heading into the future (with the great help of your fellow Canuks).
