Dr Google, Armchair Oncologists and the Cannabis Cancer Cure

My personal journeyFour years after breast cancer treatment, new neuropathic pain sent me back for scans and straight into the arms of Dr Google. The scans were clear. The internet, however, had already diagnosed me with absolute confidence and a pile of questionable citations.This stop takes on medical misinformation by search engine, the story that “cannabis cures cancer”, the rise of the Armchair Oncologist, and why personal experience is not the same as clinical evidence.It also comes with one very simple message: check yourselves, and if something changes, get it checked.If you need to talk to someone: https://www.macmillan.org.uk/https://www.maggies.org/Send us a messageSupport the showThe Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is written and produced by Sian Phillips.Music by PlayDays2021, licensed royalty-free via Adobe.All opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and any guests, and do not necessarily reflect those of any affiliated organisations.This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, regulatory, legal, or financial advice.You can find “The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music Podcasts. © 2025 Sian Phillips.
