CBD Oil for ?Non Hodgkins Lymphoma Stage 3

[briggsme]

So we were truly shocked at the biopsy that the doctors did to my mother. She has Lymphoma and i didn't really wanna believe it. She was still very much happy along with her friends being in numerous trips. Right now she's bedridden eats through the NGT and has an oxygen mask on. I was thinking about giving her the CBD oil i mean i've been researching and hearing a lot of testimonials in the internet lately about this. Should i go for it? Thoughts about it?

I hope someone else may be able to answer this better than I can. The first port of call would be your mother's doctor to ask whether it would conflict with treatment they are giving.

If they have no objection then you would have to research very carefully to find a quality product .

There are probably a lot of people out there trying to make a fast buck out of other peoples' desperation. I would hazard a guess that the main benefits might be in symptom alleviation. Also it is quite expensive. Also dietary and exercise (when possible) changes are very important in building strength to withstand illness and treatment. Best wishes .

You have nothing to lose, it won't cause any harm. I have been using it since my diagnosis in Jan 2017 on watch and wait and have been in remission since. Can I say it is the CBD, well no but you can't say it isn't either. It also helps with sleeping, joint pain etc.

Hi, not to bud in on this conversation.. I see you are on the watch and weight .. I have also been for a few years. I am struggling with that whole post cancer life. I battles for 7 years and was thankful to enter a risky treatment that saved my life. Sadly those years have taken a toll and it seems like every year is getting worse. Does the CBD truly help with pain? I feel like I am 90. I feel worse now then during treatment. My oncologist just suggested me try it.

I agree with you. I use CBD a Beautiful lady makes mine for free. It has helped my neropathy and neck back pain. I sleep better also. Had a scare this last month. So had pet scan and cat scan. Having biopsy tomorrow. But good thing I don't have any swollen lymph nodes anywhere but left side of my neck. Had in peracardium area and chest wall left side neck before. I believe the CBD and the RSO that I use got ride of that. Only thing done Diff Rent since whach and wait in 2014. Does not hurt.

sorry to hear about your mother, lymphoma can sneak up on you without symptoms before you know it. I used (smoked) cannabis through out chemo treatments and it helped with nausea, sleeping and as an appetite stimulant. I discontinued smoking due to lung problems, and have been using CBD lately for help with sleeping. effects are very subtle as far as i can tell, but some people swear by it for pain, anxiety

CBD is more for treating nausea while on chemo. In this sense, it might relieve some symptoms, but it will not cure or slow the progression of the lymphoma. You didn't say anything about the treatment she is receiving, her age or the stage of her lymphoma. Normally lymphoma responds well to chemo and Rituximab (Mabthera) .

It's whatever the doctor needs we give it. I mean the prices are no joke(the medicine) i don't think my mom can withstand the chemo at this point we really don't know what to do tbh

[DeonJoubert in reply to briggsme]

Normally if it is not the very fast spreading lymphoma, there are signs like night sweats and swollen lymph glands, etc. It is not common for someone to become bedridden with an oxygen mask at the time that they are diagnosed. I think with lymphoma, you can never be too weak for chemo, because it needs to be treated aggressively. If your mom has the fast spreading, more aggressive type of lymphoma, it is actually easier to treat. The faster the lymphoma spreads, the better it responds to treatment. I would recommend her seeing an oncologist and getting into a treatment program as fast as possible.

Some of what she may be experiencing id shock and anxiety. My husband has had times when it seemed like he was shutting down but we reviewed meds and some were counteracting with the other.

Example...one doc gave antidepressant that suppressed appetite and we couldn’t get him to eat...BTW Megace has been wonderful for him. He’s been through so much but rebounding well through lots of support from PT OT and just friends treating him “normal”

I used CBD AND was pleased. It got rid of my aches, pains and itching. Start slow a drop it 2 in AM and same in PM, increase gradually as needed.
