@joangma What I heard was a full dropper under the tongue two times a day. Gosh, who knows.

make sure your CBD OIL IS WATER SOLUBLE AND FULL SPECTRUM.

Curious- with all the state regulations and time required to get approved what do folks think about the cbd oils as an immediate option? Is it a scam like weight loss herbs? Or have folks seen results?

How do people know how much to take and if they are on other medications will that affect you. Who do you go talk to to get your answers from a professional. I am too “chicken” to try it without some form of medical guidance for both long cancer and spinal stenosis.

@sakota- Good morning. First you have to research the meds that you are taking and if they are compatible with CBD oil. I am on 2 different antidepressants and take CBD oil. I have no side effects other than the ones that I need.
Is their a dispensary near you? You can call them and ask, or ask your doctor. It's always a good thing to do that anyway.
You must have an ortho guy and I know that you have an oncologist. Have you checked with either?

I hope I was not misunderstood. I never said that CBD or THC is a 'cure' nor am I trying to give anyone false hope in treating or managing their cancer journey. However, the articles I referenced and the information we received from not one but three oncology groups (in relation to my husband's cancer treatment) were to use it if tolerable for him (which it is) as an adjunct to his medical care. If you will read the NIH reports they do state that CBD and THC show promise in treatment of cancer. Other uses have been confirmed as well now. The problem with CBD and THC is that with it's legal status little research has been possible and it frustrates some doctors because they see the early research and wish they had more concrete information. I am not a 'snake oil salesman' and I hope I have presented my thoughts carefully.
I think it should be noted that so many conventional cancer treatments used today can have serious side effects and limited efficacy as well and alternatives such as CBD and THC shouldn't be pushed aside without consideration.
I am 3 years cancer free (5 years from my initial diagnosis) of breast cancer. I didn't look to CBD or THC for myself although it was offered. I just now added it to my healthy lifestyle choices AND medical treatment, which included a bi lateral mastectomy. I am not suggesting that people look to a miracle drug for cure but instead evaluate all their options in treating their cancer because to be honest............medical science is a practice and it's constantly evolving. I meant no harm or disrespect but ignoring alternative options is not wise either.

No dear we are not vegetarian...but we were not sure of giving her meats.....she is not alone.....but I see many write ups in Google that talks about ....that potatoes are not good for cancer patient...and moreover she hasn't undergone any chemo or surgery ...so don't feel ok to give her potatoes

I eat whatever body can tolerate. Eggs, avocados on toast are good proteins. Chicken, fish and some pork with veggies. Salads are very effie. Think it’s the greens that make me sick and I used to love salads. I eat potatoes or most things that agree with me. I live alone except following chemo and am sick than sisters stay till I get my strength back.

@richcolleen- Good morning. I think that you might have answered an old post. If you look at the top of a post it will give you the current date and even time of the post. But don't despair. I did this a lot when I was distracted or something piqued my interest. Besides this is a great topic, meals and nutrition. When I had chemo I ate only those things that I could tolerate, I left the room if a smell was noxious. I believe that even good nutrition can be waived during cancer. It sounds as if you have your diet figured out. Is there anything else that you can say about food during cancer treatments?
