| Radiation Therapy |
| Radiation therapy is currently used in almost half of all cancer patients. Since radiation is a local treatment, side effects are usually confined to the area being treated. The early effects of radiation may be seen a few days or weeks after treatments have started and may continue for several weeks after treatments have ended. Other non-local effects may not show up until months, or even years, later. Some of the side effects include pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and skin problems. Medical marijuana has been used safely and successfully in many patients undergoing radiation therapy. The physicians at IME can help you understand how Nature’s Remedy can be integrated into your treatment plan and improve the quality of your life. Increased Appetite & Weight Gain
Radiation treatments can have the common side effect of loss of appetite, with resulting weight loss, cachexia, and fatigue. Since THC is a very effective and natural appetite stimulant, we have found that our patients who use medical marijuana have been able to eat, prevent weight loss, and continue to feel strong both physically and emotionally.
