Lung cancer spread to brain

Hello everyone I'm new on here and looking for advice, my husband has stage 4 lung cancer metastasis and it has now spread to my husband's brain (8 places), consultant has stopped treatment now as he said chemo, immunotherapy & carboplatin hasn't worked (had 2 treatment sessions) because all the cancers have doubled in size, not sure about the 8 places on his brain as we've only recently found out that it had spread there, Friends have told us to get CBD oil from a chemist that supply's it as this will stop the cancer growth and give my husband a longer life instead of weeks/months, my husband is willing to give it a try if it will help him, has anybody else tried this who is in a similar situation to my husband?apologies for the long message. Heartfelt thanks

  • Hi Hope-pray,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear about your husband - I hope you're getting on as OK as can be, and that this forum can offer some support to you.

    If you are considering the CBD, it is best to discuss this with the doctor/specialist first. We have some information about CBD oil on our website, which may be helpful to read through. There is also this blog which goes into a bit more detail.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi, I am so very sorry for both you and your husband. What a tough time you're having. I too am stage 4 and I have used CBD oil. I think that if your husband is willing to try it and you've checked with his onco ( although I understand that he's not receiving any treatment now) then give it a go. CBD oil might help with the pain and mental attitude so for those reasons alone it would be worth it. 

    I wish you the very best of luck. Use the forum for support for you both xx
