Welcome to Connect, @carol1961
There is quite a bit of discussion about CBD and cancer in the Lung Cancer group. You may be interested in reading this discussion:
– Using CBD/THC Oil to fight metastatic lung cancer https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/using-cbdthc-oil-to-fight-metastatic-lung-cancer/
Research is ongoing. So far CBD/THC is still less effective than current drugs and dosages have not been tested or proven. Here is more information about studies done so far in petri dishes or on mice in a laboratory (in vitro) from the National Cancer Institute: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq#section/_7 (medical professional version)
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/cannabis-pdq#section/_3 (patient version. See answers to questions 6 and 7)
@brenz makes a good point. Pembrolizumab (Keytruda), an immunotherapy may be an option to ask your oncologist about. Keep in mind that there is some research that indicates that CBD oil interferes with immunotherapy.
