Good afternoon, I'm new here and firstly would like to say hello. I am looking for any advice really on whether there is a negative effect to trying a cbd oil alongside current chemotherapy being taken, and whether it has a negative interaction with the chemotherapy? I am asking on behalf of my dear Mum, who was diagnosed with stage 3 multiple myeloma 2 years ago, and the current triple chemotherapy that she is on, to get her levels low enough for a stem cell transplant, is making her so unwell and wondered if cbd oil would benefit not only the effects caused by the chemo, but also help with bone pain. I can list the current treatment that my mum is on if that would help. She is only 61 years old. Many thanks for taking the time to read my message, kind regards.
Hi Jlr and welcome to this corner of the Community although I am always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups.
I don’t have Myeloma but I was diagnosed back in 1999 with a rare, incurable type of NHL Stage 4a so although my Blood Cancer ‘type’ is different I understand the challenges of the journey well……. and more so due to having had two Allo (Donor) Stem Cell Transplants (SCT) back in June 2014 then Scot 2015.
As to your question on trying cbd oil alongside chemotherapy….. this totally has to go to your mum’s clinical team….. the treatments used to open the window for Sten Cell Transplant to go ahead are very finely balanced and the slightest interruption/change in the process could jeopardise the actual SCT. So do talk with her clinical team.
As for the SCT process - we do have a dedicated Stem cell transplant group where you can talk with others about the SCT rollercoaster.
Always around to chat or help out.
