@copter_chief godspeed in your healing journey. Some words of advice:
Latest anticancer protocol calls for VERY GRADUAL dosage increase until reaching 5X the patient's weight in daily MG of COMBINED cannabinoids (not just THC). A 60 Kg patient should aim to consume and maintain 300 MG of daily cannabinoids. It should be in 3 daily doses of 100 MG in each meal to generate sufficient metabolic pressure. Start with 10-20 MG each night and gradually increase the dose/add the other doses over a couple of weeks to acclimate the body.
Prefer FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) whose solvent has been slowly evaporated below 55°C or ROSIN oil (then partly decarbed in double boiler for 25 minutes at 90°C). Both contain up to 60% cannabinoids as well as some of the flower's original terpenes, which are lost in other forms of extraction. Not only are they more effective as anticancer agents, but their psychotropic effect is less severe.
I recommend a 1:1 balanced flower or a blend of two strains, one CBDA/CBD rich and other THCA/THC rich. If heated excessively or for too long, as per the original RSO recipe from 20 years, the acidic forms of THCA and CBDA are lost. Latest research has proven their anticancer, antiemetic, anxiolytic, antiinflammatory, and even neuroprotective effect through pathways different from THC/CBN.
RSO Rick Simpson Oil recipes overcook and leave nothing but THC and CBN (oxidized THC), requiring incapacitating megadoses of 2,000 MG/day. CBD-deficient "recreational" cannabis will lack modulation. Non #Stoner patients risk anxiety attacks/paranoia. Start low, increase slowly and use the right stuff.
Vaping doesn't generate enough metabolic pressure for anticancer effect. It will reduce nausea and pain quickly, but it's palliative. Smoking destroys half the medicine and generates nasty toxins.

Um, do you have sources for your advice? Too much THC could lead to THC toxicity. I would just be cautious about recommending it. However, there have been some promising studies out there, and cannabis can definitely help with nausea from chemotherapy. @JorgeAD @copter_chief
2014: Cannabinoids as therapeutic agents in cancer: current status and future implications
The pharmacological importance of cannabinoids has been in study for several years. Cannabinoids comprise of (a) the active compounds of the Cannabis sativa plant, (b) endogenous as well as (c) synthetic cannabinoids. Though cannabinoids are ...
Understand your skepticism as we are currently living Reefer Madness 2.0. Hope you are not expecting a full #Cannabis anti #Cancer double blind placebo paper on this protocol as i will likely dissapoint you. I pieced it together from several sources and years of experience.
A good starting point is this article Cannabinoids and Cancer in the Clinic. At first an older doctor talks about palliative use of marijuana brownies during the 1st AIDS crisis. Then Dr. Dustin Sulak, one of the main inspirations in the field, explains the difference between palliative therapy and anti-cancer therapy, which also includes anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic, anti-emetic effects:

This recently published meta-analysis looked at 10,000 scientific studies on cancer and cannabis. "It revealed a significant trend (71.4%) supporting the therapeutic potential of cannabis, in particular for the management of cancer-related symptoms and direct anticancer effects.
This podcast series from Canada is a great reference. This episode gets specific from minute 13 and talks about dosage. Patient used the traditional RSO protocol until she reached 1 GR daily. She put it in capsules because she couldn't stand the taste. It saved her life and she didn't even have to take anything for the pain.
This other woman also did the full six sessions of chemo for ovarian cancer. From minute 11 onwards she explains she started with edibles from a retired doctor friend. She then went on to take 80 MG of #thc daily (still palliative) and stopped the growth but, after a trip to the Galapagos, unable to take her medicine along, tests revealed that the tumour had grown again. She sought out Dr. Bonnie Goldstein ( please read her wonderful book CANNABIS IS MEDICINE). The doctor greatly increased her dosage but, most important, added CBD and acidic cannabinoids THCA & CBDA. Within 5 weeks the tumour had shrunk by 50%.

I am very sorry for the loss of your sister and friend.
Cannabis reasearch has been forbidden for 80 years in most of the world unless your stated goal was to prove how harmful it could be. Blame the system, not the plant.
Cannabinoid mix, dosage and protocol change everything. Cannabis Health Radio cancer patients are always told to remain on maintenance dose ( a fraction of the anticancer dose, taken only at night). Otherwise cancer often returns.
Let me know if you have any other doubts or questions.
