Reply #55: Bad for chemo too (marinol) [View All]

When my partner was getting chemo (3 day infusions, every 3 weeks for 1 year) he could not eat ANYTHING for those 3 days. Threw up every 30 minutes around the clock.

I was getting very freaked out, well, you can imagine when your 30 year old husband is going through this, it is devastating. One night he smoked a bit of a joint out of the hospital window that a friend had given him. He slept for 3 hours without throwing up, awoke and asked for a cheeseburger and fries. Ate it all up and slept the rest of the night. Wow.

His doc had given him Marinol but he couldn't keep anything down.

Just wanted to share my story, and glad you have an open mind.
