Greetings,
I'm in a unique position to support recruitment for the John Hopkins cancer anxiety trial because I am the study coordinator for a similar trial that is concluding in Los Angeles at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Ironically, I was diagnosed with breast cancer five months after I started working on the study, so I "get it" more than most researchers.
Since January 2006, I worked with seven participants who had Stage IV cancer and anxiety. We provided psilocybin (one of the ingredients in "magic" mushrooms) in a clinical setting with therapeutic intentions. The medicine was tolerated well, and no one "freaked out." Overall, people reported having a positive experience, and some found it very helpful with coping and dealing with deep issues.

(The age range for this study is 18-70, and participants need to be able to travel to Baltimore. They do need to have cancer but it does not have to be advanced for this trial if they meet the anxiety requirement.)
There have been some very postive reports in the media lately about the potential benefits of this kind of treatment. If you have specific questions, you can post a reply to me here. I will be checking the site every two weeks.
Kind Regards,
Alicia
