John Malanca Weekly Roundup: Isolation
In the past three editorials, I have discussed “breathing and smelling the roses”, hope and stress. I have been surprised to receive an occasional question as to the seriousness of my tone, if I know stress is awful, (yes I do!); and another that I downplayed masks since anyone can “smell the roses” through them.

Combining Cannabis with Chemo and Radiation. Is It Possible?
Many patients have heard that cannabis can help navigate the side effects of chemotherapy. Most hear from friends or relatives that it can help.
