[|Human|] Hello. My mom has been suffering from a rare form of muscle tumors called leiomyosarcoma for the a long time now. Surgeons have all said that there is no cure or nothing we can really do except try and take it out whenever it comes back, which it has at least twice a year for the past 10+ years. I know people who have lived with cancer all of their lives, and they would smoke medical marijuana. Studies have shown that medical marijuana stops cancer cells from growing and spreading. Could smoking medical marijuana be beneficial to my mother while she fights this ongoing struggle with leiomyosarcoma?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion she can try medical marijuana, as nothing else is working well in her case. Its effect is decreasing pain, rather than decrease cancer cell growth. So this can give good feeling subjectively. She can also try transdermal patch of fentanyl. It is centrally acting opioid Chat Doctor.  Its action lasts for 72 hours. So better and longer pain relief can be achieved. So she can take medical marijuana. Also ask her to try transdermal patch of fentanyl.
