    I am a newly wed woman aged 21. My beautiful, freelancing husband is dying of extra-gonadal testicular tumors that have spread up into the abdomen. They cost him part of his liver, a kidney, the upper lobe of his left lung, some pancreas, and a testicle.
    I refuse to let this cost him his life.
    The doctors have given up, but we have not. 
    He has been informed that his medical marijuana card is en route. To whom it may concern, we are in Missoula, Montana.
     
    What I fear is the time constraint we have. He has months (or less) before another tumor threatens to crush his lungs. He already had stents put in to keep this from happening, which are causing him an inexplicable amount of pain and grief.
     
     
    I have seen many folks offered Rick Simpson oil, or the bud to create the required amount, when they cannot afford it for themselves in forum posts dating years back. The fact of the matter is, we cannot afford to save his life, either. We are currently doing everything we can to earn money, and we will not stop, no matter the hindrances. If he had more time, we would be able to pay our own way to the cure. But he doesn't. I know that if we could just start this, he'd show enough improvement to continue working...
     
    Is there anyone out there who can legally help us with this? We would be every bit willing to pay it back every cent, or do whatever is necessary to make things..er...for lack of a better word, right. If you have any information on anything that COULD help us, please message me. I am very open to suggestions, or to anything helpful one might have to say.
     
    If I've broken any rules, I apologize, as this topic was posted in somewhat obvious haste.
    If any information needs to be provided beyond what is already here, I will gladly provide it.
     
    I admit, I do feel a fool for posting this. I've...never done this before. I just can't let an opportunity like this slip by, though...If any of you know love, any kind of love, then I'm sure you understand.
     

     
  2. I wish I was in a better position to help :(  Good luck 
     
  3. No worries :3 I believe this is possible, and we will figure it out somehow. Thank you for the luck!

    I hope you two are holding on. 
     
    I live in WA and can help you obtain this medicine if you know what you want.  Exactly.  There are different kinds of oils, higher CBD's are usually what works.
     
    If you are still looking, still trying, contact me.  I am not a doctor, I am a medical user myself.

  5. I am so sorry you are going through this. Sounds like a lot. Please stay strong for your husband and you are in my prayers! Can't really help since I don't live in a medical state, but I hope you do get help soon.
     
  6.  
    Message sent! Your willingness restores some hope in us. 
     
  7.  
    Thank you for the prayers, they mean everything to us. We are both doing our best to be strong through this. 

    I don't think I've ever loved anyone with such passion in my life.
     
  8. Okay this is where I think we should start.  You need to go to the website "GoFundMe.org or .com.  Look at the ads and write one for your husband. Pictures help.  Tell them exactly what you need and how much money you need. 
    Then you post it on facebook and ask everyone you know to pass it on.  People have made a lot of money this way.  Go Fund Me will explain how it works and it is amazing to see people raise thousands of dollars. 
     
    Perhaps you can find out about the rules on this website, if they might let you do a campaign to raise funds for your husbands medical care.  If a lot of people donated $10 you might have a decent pile of cash.
    Unfortunately I don't have the money, I meant help you in other ways.
    Have you been studying this, do you have an idea what kind of oils he needs?  RSO's can have high CBD's or THC or both.  Seeing a doc will really help. 
    There was an article on Marc Emory's site a few months ago about and Israeli company that is making giant advances with this medicine, the best in the world.  In that article they said "no one would be denied this medicine for monetary reasons".  I will try to find that article.  If you can look too that would be good.  I know there must be a way to do this.  Do you have any idea how much he will need to take?  I was taking it for an illness last year and I only needed $100 worth a month. 
     
  9. We've got a fundraiser up already, thank goodness, on a similar website. The money that was accumulated had to go to other things, like medical appointments in other states and procedures that needed doing. We have $300 left over, which is a great head start.
    We also have freelance projects we've been taking on, and the people we're working with have proven to be a wonderful support for him.

    I've been studying off and on, which doesn't say much, unfortunately. I've been working myself to the bone trying to keep him well, fed, and in a clean, happy environment. I don't wish to whine, but there really isn't anyone else supporting us outside of our online contacts. My family does what they can from as far off as they are, but people are weirdly stand-offish about families suffering tragedy, so I've found myself at the end of my rope more than a few times trying to juggle everything. I am going to sit down with Vinnie tonight and talk about what oils he needs. As far as how much, he would need 60 grams over a 90 day period, and considering that he has undergone powerful chemo and some radiation, the effect may not be as strong as intended, so we could even have to do a double treatment. One treatment would run us about 3000-3500, but I think that if we work hard and persevere, we can definitely get this done.  

    I am so thankful for your replies. Thank you so much for helping me think on this.
    That article would be very helpful. As soon as I have more information on specifics, I will gladly let you know. 
     
  10. start growing it asap, it wouldnt be at all hard to get 60-120g of bud from the four plants your state allows med patients to grow.
     
  11. we dont have the time. they found another tumor last night. 
     
    I'm so scared. 
     
    If I could come up with the money myself, I would...He can't work anymore..

    I wish I worked in Montana...we'd get you onto our compassionate care program in an absolute heartbeat...check around with some of the dispensaries or delivery services in your area (not sure if either of which are banned in Montana, to be honest) and see if they 1) have some kind of compassionate care or discount program, and 2) if they have high-CBD strains available, either in bud or tincture form. I'd highly recommend doing this ASAP just due to the gravity of his situation.
     
  13. We are definitely willing to do this, but please understand that moving around is nearly impossible for him, and I am unable to drive. I walk everywhere. Not only that, but we live month to month, and never have money left over after our living expenses are taken care of. We are as frugal as possible without being unhealthy, but honest to goodness, money is just...not something we have. Even if we were able to reach some kind of discount, it wouldn't exactly help. Not yet, anyway. We're doing everything we can...I've been trying to find a job I can take that still allows me to be his caretaker, but that is not easy at all. I'm so far from home, I literally know nobody in this state, and I've been doggedly trying to catch up and take care of myself (emotionally) in the midst of all this, but that has proven to be....very difficult in this situation. 

    I am very, very alone, and I have very, very little at my disposal. 
     
    I don't want to lose my husband. Oh, God, I don't want to lose him. 
     
    Forgive me, my heart is just...breaking for him. For us. I love him.
     
  14. Thank you, but pain management is not a problem (thankfully). He has medicaid and medicare, and they give him enough painkillers to last a lifetime. The cannabis is for Rick Simpson oil to cause the cancer to essentially kill itself, in layman's terms. 

    However, if pain does become a problem, this will be valuable information. 

    I appreciate anything at all that you and anyone else has provided me with. Information is essential to our cause.
     
  15. Have you considered fund raising websites and facebook? Combination of both can raise a lot of money in a litle amount of time.
     
  16.  
    Sorry that we're doing the whole repetition thing with the thread and messages!! 

    Once again...thank you so much for talking to me about this. 
     
  17. Youre welcome. I removed my post because its not on this websites approved list, despite its legality,

    -poke
     
  18. Alright, no problem. I will reply to your message as soon as I can. The Hospice nurse has come to our apartment. I'll send you my email now so we can stay in touch, you seem like someone I can garner a lot of good advice from.
     
  19. I will keep you in my prayers.
     
  20. Same here.
