A 13-year-old Oregon girl is being forced to undergo surgery and other cancer treatment over her mother’s objections, NBC News reports. The mother had chosen to treat the young lady’s cancer with vitamins and CBD oil.
Christina Dixon’s 13-year-old daughter, Kylee, has Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma, a rare form of liver cancer that mostly affects children. Christina says that watching her daughter endure chemotherapy was like watching her “on death row.”
“Every single time — you literally feel your kid’s life getting taken away,” she said.
According to Portland’s KGW-TV, after six months of watching her daughter suffer, she decided enough was enough. She decided to halt the chemotherapy treatments and instead try to treat Kylee with an “alternative” treatment that included vitamins and CBD oil, a derivative of the cannabis plant that, unlike THC, does not get the user high.
