Is anyone using CBD oil? I would really like to try it - especially to see if it eases the joint pain from the Anastrozole tablets, but I've read so many different things I am confused! Some say yes it's fine to use if you've had breast cancer and others say no - not if you have oestrogen fed cancer. I would appreciate any comments or advice. Doctor's won't give any advice one way or the other!
I am still in the waiting phase, have been for over 6 weeks now for various retests etc but I resorted to the blessed cbd oil to calm the anxiety and it really works for me. I can’t comment on pain relief but my husband tried it too when he injured his knee and he said it worked better than painkillers.
I have ER+ cancer, and I'm using CBD oil. I started to take it to help me deal with the hot flushes. I had to stop HRT which meant the HFs came back, then I started Letrazole which made them even worse. It took a couple of weeks, but my HFs have improved. I'm having fewer of them, and they're less intense. I bought Love Hemp from Holland & Barrett - there's 10mg in 2.5 ml. I take it at least 3 times a day, but if the HFs are bad (which happens on hot days or if I'm especially tired), then I will take an extra dose or two. It says I can have up to 70mg a day, so even if I take extra, I'm well within the dosage.
