Highland Oncology and Medical Marijuana Certification?
Top Replies
Hi OncoNurseJane, great question! While I can't speak for Highland Oncology specifically, I can tell you that many oncology practices are beginning to explore the use of medical marijuana as a complementary therapy for cancer patients. It's important to have open communication with your healthcare provider about your interest in this option, as they can guide you through the process and help determine if it's right for you. #medicalinformation #researchstudies
My spouse went through treatment at a different oncology center, and they did offer medical marijuana certification. It was a thorough process, involving a consultation with a certified medical marijuana physician, who reviewed my spouse's medical history and current treatment plan. Ultimately, it was decided that medical marijuana could help manage some side effects, and it made a positive difference. #cancerpatient #support
Thank you both for your responses! It's great to hear about the positive experiences some patients have had with medical marijuana. I'll definitely bring this up with my spouse's oncology team at Highland Oncology and see if it's something they offer or recommend. #oncologyteam #cancerjourney
