Dear Darrell,

We have lived on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi since 10/04. We do love MS, but it is a rather conservative state in some ways. My husband, Michael, had a discussion about cannabis with his oncologist. His doctor definitely said it is the best thing to help with appetite and nausea. My husband has had some Marinol prescribed for his appetite and it does help, but it is not the same as the real thing. We did not know that Ole Miss was involved with its growth and distribution elsewhere. Michael and I also strongly believe that it should be available for everyone it would help medically. (FYI: Michael is a collector, buyer and seller of classic cameras.)

I am so sorry for your current situation. I hope that you can remain pain free.

Barbara S C/G to Michael age 58, stage 1 base of tongue SC cancer and a stage one for a couple lymph nodes, diagnosed 09/12/06, IMRT radiation 10/24/06 to 12/05/06 (twice per day the last two weeks), first CT totally negative 01/23/07
