Lin wilki Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Anyone have experience with medical marijuana? I was told it can shrink tumors so it sure can’t hurt. My doc did not discourage me. She had to sign the form. I was hoping for some pain relief but so far one gummy a day does nothing much! Now I see there is conflicting info that cannabis could hinder immunotherapy response. Yikes! I am only doing immunotherapy no chemo so now second guessing the whole thing Thoughts anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Lin, I had a very good friend and high school alumni who was diagnosed with very treatable lung cancer. He got hooked by a “snake oil” salesman and very expensive but worthless “treatment”. Sadly, he passed, quickly. By the time he embraced science-based medicine, it was too late. I don’t know if marijuana is a lung cancer remedy. There have been no trials, no scientific research, and consequently no data. The import of science-based treatment is that results are repeatable. Immunotherapy is new. I wouldn’t do anything that might affect its treatment impact. It has dramatically moved the survival needle. Don’t introduce something that may compromise your best chance at survival. Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin wilki Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Point taken. I’m stopping it. I’m having a flair of fibromyalgia and I thought it would help. It didn’t thanks for feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
