I had just started using CBD for arthritis pain when I had to have Gamma brain surgery. My neuro -surgeon said to bring the CBD with me. After they took the helmet off, I was very nauseous and had a terrible headache. The nurse had me take 2 full vials of CBD and within minutes, the headache and nausea were gone. I was worried about taking so much CBD but the nurse said "you can't OD on CBD." I hope this helps.
Curcumin is another not yet approved approach to cancer treatment. Again it is difficult to find dosage informsation. Also curcumin in needed doses is not absorbed well in the stomach, making oral supplements more difficult to use. From my sucessful self treatment with it, I found best to use 95 standardized curcuminoids with black pepper extract. I took this in at least 1000 mg doses every 3-4 hours during my 4 session, 4 month chemotherapy.
Also was taking high doses of "timed release" vitamin C to enhace my immune system.
I have a banana bread made for me by my niece in Vermont (my state sucks and has no medical marijuana)
I take a small bite when I’m feeling queasy. I also have some joints but haven’t smoked yet. I’m only going into my 2nd round of chemo this week, so I may not be of much help.

You were fortunsate to have doctors who had some knowledge of CBD. Here's why:

Proper doses are only determined after it has been used enough to make determinations, may take more time.

Most important in your treatment is to stay informed and always keep your doctors as up to date on everything you find out.
