Feisty

Hi All, I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I start chemotherapy next Wednesday 19th December. Someone has advised me to take cannabis resin (a grain of rice size morning and night) I just want to know if this will affect the chemotherapy, blood tests, blood pressure tablets

  • Hiya Feisty and welcome.  I would suggest that you ask the doctor treating you who will (a) have been asked the question before and (b) will know how it would react with your planned treatment.  I realise you are not asking my opinion on taking cannabis (so I won't give it!) but please make sure you are clear on what it might do to the effectiveness of your treatment.  Best wishes and I hope your treatment goes smoothly for you.  Annie

  • Hi Annie, Thank you for your reply. I have never used any kind of drugs before (except my prescription drugs) but I will try anything to get rid of this if it helps I just don't know, I will ask the doctor as you suggest. (I know it is legal now)
