CBD

Does anyone have any experiences of using CBD capsules alongside chemotherapy?

Hi Helenm,

 

My name is Lisa and I am one of the specialist nurses working here at Pancreatic Cancer UK.  I hope that someone from the wider Forum family feels they can share their thoughts on your question.  It is something that we have been asked over the phone on the Support Line on several occasions.

Apologies for the rather 'standard' answer!  But I would normally advise you discuss this with your oncologist if the person in question is receiving chemotherapy.  They won't throw you out of their clinic room for bringing up the topic, and I am quite sure they will have also been asked this many times before and be able to answer your questions. 

 

With best wishes,

 

Lisa

I know it's been a very long time but i wanted to say, it seems like CBD can offer some relief for symptoms like nausea and pain that often accompany chemotherapy. However, it's crucial to approach it cautiously and always consult with your healthcare team to ensure it complements your treatment plan without any complications.
I stumbled upon these 25mg HHC gummies online https://www.trythecbd.com/products/hhc-gummies/ , which have garnered some positive attention. People appreciate their potency and effectiveness, but of course, individual experiences may vary. Remember, everyone's journey with chemotherapy is unique, so it's essential to listen to your body and work closely with your medical team to find what works best for you.

My uncle went through chemotherapy a few years ago and, with his oncologist’s approval, he started taking CBD oil. We weren’t expecting a miracle, but they did seem to help ease some of his nausea and made it a bit easier for him to keep food down. It didn’t eliminate all the side effects of chemo, but from my family’s perspective, every small relief counted
