Absolutely 💯 !! I never used it before cancer. I was taking my medicine with no relief from getting sick. So I tried pot. Didn't cure my cancer but it was better then the other meds doctor gave me. Good luck .
I took several different brands of gummies - whatever my local dispensary had that was lower in THC , but higher in CBD (and/or CBN which helps with sleep). Indica is my preferred strain.
The dispensary should have the info on their website. LEAFLY is a good reference for strains and what is helpful, with reviews from users too. I used/use a brand called ENCORE, WANNA, and Mindy’s.
*I also use/used micro-dosed High CBD concentrate in OTC gelatin capsules nightly for tumor suppression. Whatever the highest CBD to THC percentage that was available at my dispensary. (I preferred “SweetPea” when available). Hope this helps !
I was on chemo for 6 months for Pancreatic Ca and gummies helped my nausea substantially. I would take approx 5mg gummies with 1:1 THC and CBD/CBN. I also had Zofran which worked together to help my moderate nausea and to help sleep. THC is good for pain also-the CBD/CBN helps with relaxation and sleep.
Good luck and GOD BLESS!💜💜
I haven't had chemo at this time but have been using the cannabis in the 1 g syringe. I noticed where I could only pass fluid I can now pass solids occasionally. After doctors doing nothing for 3 months due to lack of insurance...I needed to do something.

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?
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.

1 ReactionI keep hearing chatter of "medbeds" a withheld technology. If any truth and should I live so long.
Another week it looks like experimental Cancer trials or planning my funeral are the only options at this point.

@cubgirl1960, would you mind sharing which brand you took?
Good for you for being creative and invested in problem solving the health issues that you are facing. Being proactive gets results. Take care.

2 Reactions@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/
