I don't know much about cancer and the resulting pain, but I do know that taking levo does not mean you can't take CBD oil. As long as you take it two hours away from your levo, to avoid it affecting absorption. :)

So sorry to hear your news. I would contact your doctor or specialist the could offer you a medication like gabapentin if its due to nerves being irritated or crushed by the mass. Dont just suffer....

Hi, i too am a thyca patient, with complications. I used full extract oil for many months prior and post surgery. Apart from day after surgery which hospital gave me paracetamol i never took any painkillers despite the pain and discomfort, the oil really did wonders. Not sure about standard cbd oil available in shops, without thc.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery from surgery.
