Yes rectal and prostate cancer.
Tommy Cong did have cancer and he did self medicate with marijuana but he also underwent chemotherapy and traditional treatments.
Chong, 77, said his cancer, which he described as "in stage one," will be treated with chemo and radiation -- and, unsurprisingly, marijuana, in the form of suppositories.
He's keeping a positive attitude and joked it's a "pain in the butt."

My medical team removed the tumor almost immediately after discovering it. I underwent radiation for about a month, and then had surgery. I found that UCLA is really the best place to be treated: the best surgeons, the best care and the best attitude. For about a year, I was on chemo pills, 20 days on and then a week off. It was a short struggle – a short bump in the road for me.
