When I was going through chemotherapy lots of people offered me pot. People you would never expect suddenly knew where to score. Turns out that I didn't need it but now I'm wondering if I should have taken advantage.
Since I finished active treatment I've been on Femara which has done a marvelous job of helping keep cancer away. Femara has it's share of side effects and a significant one is that it loves bone. It eats away at it, up to 8 percent per year! So after one year of taking Femara my bone density went from normal to osteopenic.
So now I take a weekly bone pill and in one year of doing that my bone scan has gone back to normal. We'll monitor this annually until, well, I don't know when.
Then I was reading research on mice showing that marijuana causes damage in young bones but strengthens "older" bones. Since I'm post menopausal due to surgery I wonder if I should volunteer for human clinical trials. What do you think?
