My name is Kimberly Scott. We moved to TN from Michigan to be closer to my daughter's care team at St. Jude. My daughter is 4 years old and is currently fighting a brain tumor. She was diagnosed at 2 years old in Michigan and we were told she'd be dead in 3 months. She had a tumor resection in november 2019 and was sent back home to begin chemotherapy to eradicate the remaining 10% that could not safely be surgically removed. After one treatment, we found out that she was allergic to chemo. That had to be stopped and it was then that we had her certified to begin using medical marijuana oils.

We stopped these oils for two months to see what the trial drug that St Jude has her on could do by itself. From June-August she was on St Jude's trial drug AS WELL as her medical mariuana oils. That scan (on the left) showed 2mm shrinkage of her mass as well as 100% inflammation reduction. We took her off of her oils August-October. Her most recent scan (on the right) has shown that her tumor started GROWING again.

I am reaching out to you as a desperate mother who is fighting with everything I've got to keep my little girl alive. These oils help her tremendously and the proof is right here that when she is off of them, her cancer spreads and grows. We need to change the way that her oils are viewed and i need your help to be able to keep my daughter on her life saving medication. There are so many more kids that lose their lives that could be saved if the state laws were changed. I am not pushing for recreational use. I am advocating for my child and other children who need it strictly for medical use. My child obviously does not smoke marijuana. She uses it in oil form. The oil that she uses is not just "CBD", she uses THC in oil form alongside the CBD.

The current medical marijuana law in Tennessee grants patients strictly CBD with .09% THC. Cancer patients need much more than that to achieve remission. I am humbly asking you what I can do to present our case to federal lawmakers, before it's too late.
Please help me save my daughter and countless other children who need salvation.
