It has slowly increased to 29 over the last four months so I m been kept monitored to see will it stabilise or keep elevating,I ve been reading about cbd oil and the health benefits that it has also I ve read testimonials from patients who have used cbd and it has brought their marker levels back to normal.would it be safe to try it for a few months until my next blood tests to see if it has a positive effect on the marker instead of facing into more chemo which is looking likely,unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for advice as I m on sick benefit which isn t much
