A mum who was given weeks to live after she shunned chemotherapy has baffled doctors by treating her cancer – with illegal super strength cannabis and Manuka honey.
Susan Dhillon, 51, from Slough, was diagnosed with inoperable stage four cancer of the mouth, nose and lower skull in June 2018. Doctors said unless she had chemotherapy – and then incredibly risky facial surgery – her only option was end of life care.
But despite the tumours growing at a rate of five per cent a month, she shunned the invasive treatment.
She started taking a near-pure form of illegal cannabis tablets which her friend makes at home, by growing her own cannabis plants and using oil to make tablets. It has an 80 per cent cannabinoid strength – 78.8 per cent over the legal treatments – and contains THC, the principal psychoactive constituent of the drug.
Sue, a grandmother-of-one, then buys the drug from her friend at a cost price of around £16 a day. And after five months of taking a tablet a day, doctors were shocked to discover some of the tumours had disappeared, and others had stopped growing or shrunk.
