Do you use medical marijuana?
I am 61 and have metastatic prostate cancer which was diagnosed 5 years ago. PSA was at 71, when diagnosed (via yearly physical), I had 8 weeks of radiation and now Lupron and Zometa treatments every 3 months. I have most side effects mentioned on other post. The one that is the hardest to deal with is neuropathy from my knees to my toes. Neurologist has me on gabapentin, which works most of the time. I have found that medical marijuana (gummies) works the best when I have severe neuropathy issues at night. Has anyone else tried or have success with gummies?
Hi
. I can't personally speak on this and haven't seen many on the site write about it. I know our contributor Duane has found CBD helpful (see: https://prostatecancer.net/living/treatment-path-course). Here is another example: https://prostatecancer.net/forums/coping-with-cancer-treatment. I also know that there is evidence that cannabis is helpful for peripheral neuropathy (see: https://www.ccjm.org/content/85/12/943). Hope this is helpful and that others chime in with their experiences. Best, Richard (Team Member)
