Does CBD oil interfere with iBrance and Faslodex like Grapefruit?

[Adele_Julia]

I was reading an interesting article attached here healthline.com/health/cance...

It mentioned that taking CBD may interfere with medications especially those that have a "Grapefruit" warning such as the case with iBrance and Faslodex. I read that taking CBD and even rubbing the oil onto my right breast where my tumors are may be helpful. One gal on Chris Wark's site where he interviewed her, claimed that rubbing the CBD directly onto the skin helped enormously !

Any insight or advice? If you are taking CBD is it helping and how much do you take daily? Thank you in advance ! Blessings to continued healing and success.

Aloha to you! I took Ibrance for nearly 5 years until it no longer worked so I changed to another drug. I owe my life to Ibrance and had no problems with it. I was one of the very lucky ones. I asked my Oncologist about CBD and she said that I could use it if I wanted to. It wouldn't hurt me. I gave it up soon as it didn't seem to make a difference with me. But I gave my unopened bottles of CBD to my friend who has severe arthritis and she swears by it. I haven't heard of using it externally, but I think you can try anything you want.

Aloha ! I used to live in Hawaii. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm reading conflicting news on using CBD in connection with iBrance. Will talk to my oncologist today about it. Others just rub it on the breast. Love your energy and positivity. Mahalo ! J

I take CBD every day and my oncologist approves. I have been on Ibrance since February and my tumors (both breast and liver) showed a significant amount of shrinkage.

Hello Ardie1970 ! This is encouraging to hear. I've heard many positive results from CBD either orally or directly rubbed onto the breast. My oncologist is against it and gave me this document as it - like grapefruit - interacts with iBrance. Sigh. Here's the link. letcomedical.com/media/wysi...

I bought some and now am frightened to use it. Ugh ! I'm just rubbing it onto my breast where the tumors are. I'll inquire again and thank you for sharing your success with it !

I also think it really helps with the sore joint thing that Letrozole can cause. When I first started it my knees were killing me. Now I never even notice any pain in them unless it is going to rain. I have always been fairly active and my knees are paying for it! 🤣

My doctor said no dice. That it actually interfered with Ibrance. I'd talk to your doc sbout it for sure. That all cbd and Dany cannabis interfered.

I spoke with an integrative medicine doc that said there was interference. I do a maxipad with Casteroil. And frankincense. In my bra directly on my masses. Both break up cancer tumors. And I have had shrinkage. I've been on Ibrance for about 6 months took a while to get the right dosage. I'm now on 75mg with Exemestan. And Ive shrunk nodes breast and stabilized spine and liver. I highly suggest talking to an integrative medicine doctor to learn all interferences. There are SO MANY with Ibrance.even D3? Quercetin.. both huge breast cancer fighters.. Shitaki Mushrooms too?? Be really careful mixing with both worlds. I wanted to be super guru to fight my cancer. I had to cut out a million things because of interference. Good luck my friend.
