I need cannabis advice for chemotherapy

Hello
I need products to help cope with the problems and side effects of chemo. It starts in a couple of weeks so I don't have much time to figure it out.
RSO is almost the only that comes up in Google but I have access to everything Distillatedirect has. Delta8/9, isolate, distillate, honey oil.... I'm not sure if RSO is the most effective
Does anyone know what would be most effective?
Does anyone know how many doses can I take before I need to 2x or 3x my consumption?
I'm grabbing 25 syringes of honey oil and going from there but I don't know what to do.. I'm so overwhelmed by this.

I know distillate is good for pain. I usually but D9 but have read that D8 may have more medicinal properties. I know that when I use distillate I get pretty hungry, which might help too.

I was thinking using honey oil I'd get strain specific effects. One might be good for sleep, another for nausea. Where RSO or distillate will just work.
Honey oil is twice as expensive as either other options though, maybe quantity is better in this situation.

THC is for treating Cancer,so just high concentrate ingested, CBD will help for pain and swelling
Facebook has some groups for patients and suppliers most of the peeps there aren't Canadian though but they have lots of info for treatments

You're saying distillate will be better to use than honey oil or RSO? Crap, Delta 8 or Delta 9?
Do you know why RSO is common? Is it just because of cost effectiveness? Does the spectrum/entourage effect offer anything?
RSO is $15 a syringe and tests for 66% THC
Delta 9 is $25 and tests for 89%
The delta has 1/3 more THC but 2/3 more cost
I'm going to change my order to RSO and CBD then pick up a little bit of honey for recreational use instead of what I had before
I haven't been on Facebook in ages but I'll try to find what you're talking about. Thank you. I'm trying to find good things to read but a lot of this information is buried in crap or ends up conflicting something else. I'm waiting for two more days for tests and my mind isn't working right on sorting this out.
Thanks for the help

RSO is cheap and easy to make. You can make it from trim, shake or just about any state of weed and it's unfiltered so it's really a super simple process and it's full spectrum, strain sensitive (most of the RSO makers mix a bunch of different strains, but if you made it yourself... you could have strain-specific RSO). The downside is that it looks really shit because it also contains chlorophyl and a bunch of other plant based stuff. It doesn't really change anything when eating it, other than the taste. I'd capsule whatever you plan on eating both for dosage and simplicity. RSO / honey oil and distillate can stick to your teeth pretty bad, lol.
Honey oil is basically just filtered RSO from what I understand, so same benefits but more process so it costs more.
Distillate is almost pure THC.. Again more process, more expensive equipment... and the lack of terps really isn't a plus especially for medical use. IMHO distillate is taking the whole idea of concentrating cannabis too far.

Can you really take THC too far? I love that stuff.
But seriously, listen to xsinx he knows what he is talking about. Capsules are a good idea. Maybe I should do that with my D9
