FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about online review, PT33 documents, and licensed dispensary use in Thailand.
What cancer care symptoms can be discussed in review?
Patients often discuss nausea, appetite loss, pain, sleep disruption, and treatment side effects. The clinician reviews fit and safety case by case.
Should my oncology team know about cannabis use?
Yes. Tell your oncology team and the reviewing clinician about chemotherapy, immunotherapy, pain medicine, anti-nausea medicine, and supplements.
Can cannabis treat cancer itself?
This pathway is for symptom support review, not cancer treatment or cure claims. Continue oncology care and follow your cancer specialist advice.
What should I prepare for a cancer care PT33 review?
Prepare diagnosis context, treatment stage, current symptoms, medicines, recent side effects, appetite or weight changes, and any clinician letters.
When should cancer symptoms be urgent?
Fever, uncontrolled vomiting, severe dehydration, sudden severe pain, confusion, shortness of breath, or bleeding need urgent medical care.
