Has anyone tried cannabis to help with chemo nausea?

Do oncologists recommend specific brand CBD or THC gummies ? Or Rx medical grade gummies for treating nausea? I would be more willing to try something the doc recommended. All I have for nausea is dissolvable generic zofran which helps a little, but the nausea is so intense I’d like another way to alleviate it when it comes on ( usually I wake up in the middle of the night with it). Is there a thc or cbd I should ask the oncologist or assistant about?

@rselicmeister, if I remember correctly, you may also be on immunotherapy (Keytruda?) for esophageal cancer.

Research continues to indicate that CBD oil interferes with immunotherapy. Here are some references to consider:

– Cannabis Consumption Used by Cancer Patients during Immunotherapy Correlates with Poor Clinical Outcome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7563978/

As with any complementary therapy, you should always talk with your oncologist. Complementary therapies can interact negatively with immunotherapy or chemotherapies and/or reduce their effectiveness.
