I wouldn't advise it, as it is classed as quackery, there are a lot of claims out there.. but unproven and potentially dangerous not to mention the cost.

I would far prefer to stick with tried and tested proven conventional treatment.

Yes I have read up on the use of cannabis oil and the treatment of cancer, and like Gywn said, stay well clear.

IF, and that's a big IF, there was any truth in all these so called "cures" don't you think the specialists would be using them.

Keep your money in your pocket.

I tried it instead of chemo. it did not work on ovarian cancer BUT it did cure skin cancer and lung cancer .people I know. look up rick simpson hemp oil. I repeat it does not cure ov.

love jenny xxx

I haven't heard of this treatment at all but I do think you should follow your doctor's advice rather than look to this. T xx

Just to add what Jenny said... rick simpson is a fraud and he is in hiding and a fugitive from his own country because of his scam claims... The people that claim a cure it is simply not true that hemp oil cured them . and the claims are false..please don't go there...

Hi there

I am not sure where you live but be aware that in most countries the possession of cannabis is illegal. Because it is a natural product whatever is used will not be standardised , so you will have no idea how much or if any of the active ingredients there is in the product.

If you have OVCA as we all.do our lives are complicated enough , so please don't add another problem, trust your doctors and take their advice.

With very best wishes xxxx
