Emily,

I'm not a medical expert...but as a cancer patient, I can tell you that it eased my pain,nausea and anxiety, improved my mood, made me hungry as well as made movies funnier then ever before.

As a stage 4 cancer patient that lossed half my face and almost my life...I figured it couldn't make me any worse off and would probably ease the road a bit, so what the hell. The only caution I would add is watch the insulin levels if she's diabetic as the munchies afterwords can really spike the blood sugar!
