It started as small cell lung cancer, but her cancer has now spread through her lymphatic system, and they've detected cancer in her liver.

Basically she also has trouble with eating and swallowing as its effected her throat.

I know that THC is more of a symptoms suppressant then a cure. We're beyond the cure now, and its more in line with making her comfortable for the rest of her time. They've topped her up with Morphine, but the unfortunate effect with Morphine is maddeningly itchy skin, so they have to give her drugs to combat that. They're also treating her for secondary infection possibilities as Cancer patients immune systems just get the crap kicked out of them, and they tend to develop pnemonia fairly easily.
