Suggest Treatment For Diffused B-cell Lymphoma

Yes please! I have diffuse B-cell lymphoma, and have had 2 recurrences. In the last, about 10 months ago, it was found that I also had an aortic aneurysm that required surgery. Subsequent pre-op angiogram also showed blockage of nearly 80% in one artery, and a slightly less severe blockage in another. I had surgery to transplant a prosthetic aorta from the top of my heart, including virtually all f the ascending aorta. The blockages were bypassed with the mammary artery.

I had lost a large amount of weight during chemo last year, and have been unable to gain back much muscle mass. The dieticians at both the cardio and oncology practices, as well as three physicians, have advised using Cannabis to help me gain weight. I am doing so, and the effect is very positive, but it causes me to caught and I am afraid my sternum may not heal as it should. (The heart surgery was about 5 months ago, and I still have a good bit of pain in my sternum.)

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
