are there any web sites that can show the effects of meth on people with cancer. such as long term effects on what it may do to cancer patients. I'm trying to deliver some facts to him so he will realize the increased problems he is adding. I know he is just being stupid. He's addicted and has a serious problem. But he insist that his weight loss is the cancer and not the drugs. I being sober for over ten years know he can't pull that kind of wool over my eyes. Any suggestions on sites with this type of information?

No websites, but some advice. The only thing that can help him is a psychologist and a rehab program. Unfortunatly, meth is one of the bad drugs, not something that is theraputic especially for cancer. It is possible that the weight loss is the cancer and treatment. However, most patients today are given steroids that prevent that much loss and actually most patients gain weight. When dealing with cancer though, you are also dealing with facing the possibility of death and likely your worst fears and the worst depression of your life. Which is why you really cant help until he realizes he needs help and wants help. I hope at the very least he is being honest with his docs about his drug usuage. His docs need to know because the chemicals that are used in meth are highly dangerous in and of themselves, but can cause major bad intereactions with the other meds he is on. Also, in one respect, you need to see that he will likely abuse some other drug if not the meth. So many narcotics are used in cancer treatment its ridiculous. If he already has a tendancy towards drug abuse or addiction, it will simply move from the meth to one of the narcotics he is being rxed. He could actually probably fairly easily get a comparable narcotic right now that would be a hell of a lot safer than meth. In this case, sometimes you have to choose the better of two evils. Is it worse if he abuses meth or oxycodone? Well, the oxycodone is gonna be a better abuse choice simply because of the chemicals in the meth, and is likely a narcotic he is already being given.
