Hi are there any of you who have taken the oil and it helped with the side effects of chemo ? I know there is no magic cure but as it’s now on prescription ???
Whilst cannabis still remains illegal to purchase in the UK and unlicensed for medical use, from 1st November expert doctors have been given the option to legally issue prescriptions for cannabis-based medicines when they agree that their patients could benefit from this treatment. The decision to prescribe these unlicensed medicines must be made by a specialist doctor – not a GP. These doctors focus on one field of medicine such as neurology or paediatrics and are listed on the General Medical Council’s specialist register. They must make decisions on prescribing cannabis-based products for medicinal use on a case-by-case basis, and only when the patient has an unmet special clinical need that cannot be met by licensed products. These products are not available legally via the internet or any other source. Patients under the care of a specialist should discuss their treatment plan with them.
Hi Bronbronnie. I have just started using CBD oil which is completely legal as it doesn’t have the THC compound in it that gets you high. It is basically hemp oil. I have been been on it 3 days now and because I have MS as well as breast cancer, I actually started using it to relive my MS symptoms. It certainly has helped with my insomnia and strangely enough to my allergy to my dog! It has no side effects and may be worth trying as it can help with assorts of ailments but check with doctors to make sure it won’t reduce the effectiveness of your Chemo
