Medical cannabis
YES! I am on year 3 of Ibrance/Femera/Xgeva, and the neuropathy in my hand has gotten progressively worse. The pain and numbness in my hands would wake me up at night and I was losing dexterity at an alarming rate. I started taking a CBD/THC gummy at night before bed and it had made a tremendous difference. It also helped with the hot flashes from being thrown into the deep end wrt to menopause. I have been lucky as I have not had to go through traditional chemo yet, but I have heard that smoking the flower makes a world of difference wrt to the nausea and vomiting.
I will be getting my medical Marijuana card soon Like you, the neuropathy in my hands is getting worse. I will try the cbd/ thc gummy.
How do you get a medical marijuana card? I asked my primary care snd they didn’t know.
It depends on your state. You should be able to google it. I had a quick doctors appointment, paid $200, and had to provide medical documents proving my condition. Was done in a few hours. I love in Ohio, and it was quite painless. And, the folks that work at the dispensary are very knowledgeable and can help you pick options that work for you. Only downside it is it isn't cheap and they only take cash.
Before I started any allopathic treatment, I had a huge external tumor that would often hurt me a lot. I had cannabis oil for the pain, and I only needed to take the tiniest amount for the pain to subside. I’d do it more if needed but I’m in long term recovery from alcohol and now the hormone therapy has melted the tumor completely, so I really don’t need it anymore.
There’s a private Facebook group that my cannabis doc had told me about; they specialize in cannabis and cancer, it’s called Patients love compassion and sunshine. Many members are medical professionals, might be worth checking out too.
Oh yes it does! I am taking a CBD/THC gummy at night before bed (daily) and it has been helping me so much. I sleep better and I am less anxious. It’s also helping with appetite .About pain I am not sure because I still have some (maybe it would be worst without it.)
