Yes . I did. Along with a strong thc oil as well . I do believe in marijuanas curative piers. I’m on board. Never a regular user prior to APC . Five years of constant use now . I don’t do the cbd’s anymore due to cost . I do the oil daily .. I went after into remission after 8 weeks imrt and double adt. Over four years now. Still taking adt though. If not for the calming and enhancing effects of MM i feel I would be coping as well as I am

. I did 60 grams of Rso during the Radiation . For me it’s been a godsend . 🕊

So I'm guessing you did 1 gram rso suppository each day of your radiation treatments?

[Hidden in reply to Afterglow]

No I did a lot orally but towards the end experimented with the supps.They re Best way to go in my opinion for pc . Also for those that can’t take the high from thc . Not much high with the dips. Orally I was bombed out on the oil.

Did you have any side effects from your radiation treatments?

[Hidden in reply to Afterglow]

Oh yes! I had some complications with k failure and thus the tubes and a foley for over a year. I lost all muscle balance stamina endurance and cognition altered . I was on double adt as wel. I went from 233 muscles to 165 and gaunt. I’m now 195 and good there. I went through extreme fatigue syndrome for about 3 yrs . RT is not painful. You’re under the beam for seconds only . The first week your s just strolling along . I did 8 weeks five days per . By the third week fatigue began . Towards the finish I got a hemroid the size of a Buick . Never had one before. I had tubes on me . Couldn’t sit without pain. My nat dr gave me a holistic suppository that took that mean roid away in three days . Never to return . I was also getting stripped of testosterone at the same time. Joint and muscle pain. Plus got the entire year and a half I was plagued by UTIs and constant heavy anti -biotics. I feel that took a huge toll on my joints . This neuropathy persist to this day . I was different than most . Lucky to have survived it . Take care

OMG! You've been through so much.

I imagine there are others here that have gone through similar as well. Kudos to you and everyone here that has had to endure extraordinary medical trauma and treatments. It is amazing what the human body can endure.

Meanwhile you've scared the sh*t out of me, lol...

[Hidden in reply to Afterglow]

It is amazing what one can endure. I can not complain . So many are in much worse shape than I. These are things you won’t endure. I didn’t mean to scare you . Th after effects of radiation last for years ., I as my only option and it put me in remission . Do good things to counteract the poisons. That’s my philosophy.. Staying active while in treatments helps . 🙏

Thanks for posting advice to avoid it!

So are you saying stay away from it during radiation treatments? I have a starting date of April 8th but not wanting to compromise the effectiveness of the SRT. There really is very little research out there but it seems there is a lot of anecdotal support for it on the pain relief, relaxation, and sleep benefits of it. I'm only interested in whether it can help combat the oxidative damage of radiation.

[Tall_Allen in reply to Afterglow]

I didn't read the whole thing. I got as far as it prevents oxidative damage to DNA and I assumed it was a warning against cannabinoid use during radiation. Why would anyone in their right mind take something that prevents the therapeutic benefit they are trying to achieve?

[Afterglow in reply to Tall_Allen]

Ahhh yes, I gotcha ya.

I'm looking at it from the perspective of hopefully protecting all my healthy tissue around my "target field" and improve the healing process, and your pointing out it's potential to protect the cancerous cells from being destroyed by the rad beams.

I'm not sure what to think.
