Sorry to hear of your brothers diagnosis both these books would be a great starting point in my opinion.    Rick Simpson Oil - Nature's Answer for Cancer   Written by Rick Simpson pioneer in his area of cannabis oil (aka Rso Oil) as cure for a variety of ailments including cancer. Plenty of sources online  to buy or you can usually find a free pdf. He does have his own website aswell.      Medical Cannabis Guidebook, The: The Definitive Guide to Using and Growing Medicinal Marijuana Jeff Ditchfield    Great informative book with lots of pictures and clear easy to understand instructions for making your own cannabis oil.      Also I would do your own esearch into alkaline foods and how this could be beneficial to your situation.    As @Lostlew mentioned Rso / Rick Simpson oil is where you want to concentrate your research books and online.    LES BROWN the motivational speaker was once diagnosed with terminal cancer. He just decided that the doctors ability to help had terminated and went on to live past the doctors short term prognosis. He is great resource for keeping a positive mentality.       

Use a cheap £10 4 part grinder for years but treated myself to a Kannistor, good grinder but its not as good as old faithful.

One of my Disco biscuit bx reversed.

I fancied a premium grinder but baulked at the cost.   Then I discovered that Santa Cruz make a Shredder from hemp.   Quite cheap and a great grind. Biodegradable too, but haven't tested that.
