newly diagnosed and confused about treatments

I've just been diagnosed with cancer of the stomach and oesophagus and need 8 weeks of chemo and surgery. I am curious about alternative treatments (cbd +thc) and wondered ifany one else has tried or had experience of either? 

  • Hello MEGPEG,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It's important to go through the information here and understand the difference between complimentary and alternative treatments. Most alternatives don't have any scientific evidence that they work and there could also affect the treatment you are having or cause side effects.

    When you're thinking of exploring other treatments, you should always discuss it with your doctor, as they'll be able to suggest things you could do in conjuction with chemotherapy.

    Wishing you all the best for your treatment,
