Cancer – Oncological conditions
Cancer is an incredibly common condition, with 1 in 2 people developing some form of cancer during their lifetime. Cancer is obviously highly debilitating in it’s own right, and treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy come with their own exhausting side effects. This means that finding treatment options that help to improve the quality of life of patients is vital.
Common conditions
- Symptoms as a result of cancer and cancerous tumours
- Symptoms resulting from cancer treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy
- Psychiatric conditions as a result of being an oncological patient
Typical symptoms
Depending on the condition, you may suffer from:
- Fatigue
- Pain
- Sudden loss of appetite or weight
- Fever
- Nausea
- Stress and anxiety
Treatment
While research is still ongoing regarding medical cannabis use for the direct treatment of cancer, we should not forget that medical cannabis may have a positive effect on the overall wellbeing of patients with oncological conditions and symptoms.
Medical cannabis can potentially improve the quality of life of patients in a number of ways, for instance through improving sleep and appetite, reducing pain, reducing muscle spasms and lessening anxiety.
Medical cannabis may also help to control the side effects and pain-related symptoms associated with cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The Medical Cannabis Clinics offer treatment plans and care for oncology patients through online video link consultations with our expert specialist doctors, who can guide you through treatment options. Appointments start from only £150.
