#ASCO talk on #cannabis in oncology care. Take home points:
At least 20% of your pt are utilizing cannabis
Thorough assessment
Evidence supports use for breakthrough CINV
CBD > 300 mg/day can cause transaminitis
WE NEED MORE RESEARCH!

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. The agony in his face…he looks overwhelmed with disbelief at the sheer cruelty.

It's hard when a death is both expected (because of an illness) and unexpected (in terms of exactly how or when it occurs).
Sounds like you were close, and she was probably comforted that she wasn't alone. Was she on hospice? There may be some formal grief support options for you.
