How Does Cannabis Oil Help In Treating Recurrent Cancer?

I have multiple myeloma, had a stemcell transplant in 2014. have been on velcade and revilimid since, and now on maintenance treatment. In April of this year, I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. It was caught very early, and I had surgery in May. I was told that they got all of the cancer. Now I have been told that the cancer is back (advanced). I am getting ready to have the selective internal radiation therapy, without chemo. And a couple of weeks later, I will start receiving 2 - 3 cycles of chemotherapy. My oncologist said that without the treatment, the cholangio carcinoma will kill me in a matter of a few months. If I receive this treatment, what good will it do? Will it help me live longer? Would cannabis oil do any good?

Cannabis oil helps in treating recurrent cancer by reducing the side effects of cancer therapies such as nausea and loss of appetite.

It has also shown to kill cancer cells.
