After being told she wouldn\u2019t see out 2017, mum-of-one Luzita Hill declined all treatments being offered to her by the National Health Service – opting instead to use something which had helped her before.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

She says: \u201cI was not scared this time round. I\u2019d been here before and I knew there were things that would help.\u201d Luzita, 51, of Kent overcame breast cancer in 2012 after undergoing surgery, whilst also using cannabis creams and oil to deal with the side-effects she encountered after radio and chemotherapy sessions.<\/p>\n

She believes the cannabis had also helped shrink an inoperable tumour which had developed in her shoulder. As a result, for the next three years, she was able to return to work running her own holistic therapy business from her Kent countryside home. But, she was left distraught in March 2017, after learning a new primary cancer had metastasised. She was diagnosed with terminal Stage 4 lung cancer and was given three months to live.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was told my options would be surgery, involving the removal of two-thirds of the lung, then chemo and radiotherapy. But I declined surgery, it was a small lump and I decided to try a different approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some terrible and long- lasting side-effects of the chemo and radiotherapy from the previous breast and lymphatic surgeries. All but five of my teeth fell out after treatments in 2012, and I was told the new chemo would destroy my jawbone, the strongest bone in the face, and I\u2019d lose my remaining teeth, which are very important to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially I have no vein access in one arm, and the other arm is not suitable as all the lymph nodes were removed. \u201cThis makes it incredibly difficult to have blood tests and scans, and worries me if I ever need to use the veins, if I have an accident, for example.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still holding off on this treatment. I\u2019m not going to have any whole body toxic treatment again.\u201d Luzita had started using cannabis infused into a coconut cream which she rubbed on her shoulder, on the recommendation of, and the supply of a friend. Latterly she has used it as an oil, sometimes in a tincture and sometimes from a plant.<\/p>\n

She continues: \u201cYou start taking something which you know will help, which is what I did. The cannabis was part of a whole regime change. I lived better, took regular massages, exercise, hypnotherapy, and worked on keeping my head straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequences are death, but it helped my sanity having some hope. I\u2019m still here, I\u2019m still well, all the side-effects I was told I was going to get as I was deteriorating haven\u2019t occurred, so something is definitely helping.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I can\u2019t say it\u2019s anything other than the cannabis, really. It\u2019s very difficult to be told that you\u2019re going to die. It\u2019s very hard. But, as yet, the condition has not changed. It\u2019s two years on and the the lung cancer has not grown. I\u2019m a living cannabis trial, one with no placebo or time frame to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Luzita welcomes the shift in attitude of the Government and the general opening up of the debate on the use of medical cannabis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a cancer patient, and one of thousands who could benefit from its more widespread use, it is madness, and patients are being denied access to it because the doctors say this is rubbish; it\u2019s no good for you.\u201d However she is confused, like many, of the way in which it will be prescribed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill I be offered it, I don\u2019t know? But that\u2019s OK. I have what I\u2019m taking and I will continue to take it. It can\u2019t be denied, what I\u2019m saying. I will continue to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

From a position of scepticism Luzita\u2019s integrative health team have bought into her belief that cannabis has been the key to her on-going vibrancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is fully supportive. I\u2019ve letters of support from all the specialist staff helping me. During my most recent appointment they said that it was obviously not doing any harm, but went on to say it could not be prescribed to me because there is no evidence that is does any good for cancer. But, since then things have changed, they seem to be changing every week, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luzita and her husband Terry circled the date June 3, 2017 into the family calendar – the day she refers to as her \u2018expiry date\u2019, the date when her three month time window terminated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the the date we would not speak about, my husband spent most of the day staring at me in a quizzical fashion! I survived! So it also became the day when I decided I would start doing some scary and new things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first of these adventures was going to a talk, on her own own, on the use of medical cannabis run by a support group with Prof David Nutt of Imperial College London. Luzita returned invigorated:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing, it was such a different conversation to the ones I\u2019d been having; the ones where the medical professionals would simply roll their eyes at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had got to the point where I was asking my MP to do something about my health. This is pure madness; it should be my GP – not my MP – who\u2019s looking after my health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following last November\u2019s underwhelming law change, many cannabis advocates are hoping the new guidelines – to be released in October – will make access to cannabis on the NHS much easier. However, over two years on from learning her cancer had returned, Luzita is feeling chipper and strong.<\/p>\n

We spoke the day after a long, taxing 10-hour day, which involved a six-hour drive to attend the funeral of a fellow patient. She\u2019d spent the day in the company of, what she likes to refer to as, her fellow \u2018survivors and thrivers\u2019 – almost all living in limbo while the UK\u2019s legal position is clarified.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cPeople are still too scared to tell their doctors, for various reasons, but we think if we can all stand as one, it will help us all. \u201cWe are still viewed as criminals, and many are still scared of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people have their doctors on their side, obviously, I\u2019m lucky that I\u2019ve got all of mine backing me, now. My GP\u2019s saying whatever I can do to help, tell me, but I don\u2019t know and, as yet, he doesn\u2019t know. That\u2019s where we are currently at.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that the help isn\u2019t there, but many are too scared to ask for it, because they are still doing something that\u2019s illegal. And as the law changes many worry that it won\u2019t affect them, they won\u2019t have access to the drugs they want and they will still be criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, when all\u2019s said and done, we are not. We are not criminals. We are still patients, and we are simply people looking for help. If we can live with a cannabis prescription that would be perfect, but if not we will continue to live as cancer criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
