Pediatric cannabis therapy is saving lives, and awareness around this topic is imperative. This brave little girl, nine-year-old Mykayla, has made a video that can help spread awareness about cannabis and its effects in treating cancer. Her parents reached out and are trying to spread the message and we would like to help them do so as well!
It’s important to be aware of alternative treatments, since ( in the United States ) there are only two approved treatments for cancer, radiation and chemotherapy. When you are an adult with cancer you have a choice, but when you are a child your parents do not have the option to refuse the approved way without facing legal repercussions, which means you could lose custody of your child.
Mykayla had T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a very rare and aggressive form of childhood leukemia. In July 2012, doctors discovered a basketball sized mass of lymphoblastic in her chest. Her mass was so large that she was not able to be sedated for risk of death from the pressure on her esophagus and heart.
Check out Mykayla’s message to the world and PLEASE SHARE her amazing story with everyone you know! #RaiseAwareness <3<3<3
