Tomorrow, I'm going to Indiana to see the pioneering oncologist on treatments for testicular cancer. The same person who treated Lance Armstrong.

I want to present some documentation on why cannabis has helped me immensely through chemotherapy, so that the doc can be aware that cannabis can be used to relieve the effects of chemo.

I want to know if such reports and data exists?

Come on now! You can't expect me to do all your research, can you? I just ran chemotherapyand cannabisand got 173,000 hits! You can manage this one on your own- I gotta go to work. - Granny:stoned:

Thanks for making me feel like an asshole. I don't expect anyone to research for me, just point me in the right direction.

I did some research, and the ones I came across, I try to look for the reports they reference too, and I can't find them anywhere. It's like going in a full circle. A lot of them are abstract as well while I want something more conclusive.

University of British Columbia is one place that was doing that research... ever hear of the strain called 'UBC chemo'? That was part of what came of it.

Interesting, thanks for the info on UBC chemo, while I couldn't find the actual study, just an article on how cancer patients are willing to try cannabis out, It did lead me to find a study on the antitumor properties of cannabis.

Thanks for the suggestion yeag, quite a good suggestion actually. Now on to search for numbers of cannabis clubs. This search has no end....I wish all these studies were compiled and catagorized for easy access.
