This is a link to the NIH's National Cancer institute's excellent paper on
Cannabis and Cannabinoids
It's loaded with valuable information with links to a multitude of studies.
Fourth paragraph down under "Antitumor Effects" reads
"An in vitro study of the effect of CBD on programmed cell death in breast cancer cell lines found that CBD induced programmed cell death, independent of the CB1, CB2, or vanilloid receptors. CBD inhibited the survival of both estrogen receptor—positive and estrogen receptor—negative breast cancer cell lines, inducing apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner while having little effect on nontumorigenic mammary cells."

"Other studies have also shown the antitumor effect of cannabinoids (i.e., CBD and THC) in preclinical models of breast cancer."

You need to keep in mind that the studies being bantered around about this were done on mice, not humans. No human studies have backed up these claims. We know that high THC is an effective treatment for cancer cells. When you get the higher CBD strain available your protocol will strengthen, but in the meantime these links may offer you some peace of mind.
I've skimmed the abstracts. I'll be honest, I haven't had much sleep for a few nights and the eyes are too tired to tackle all that small print.
I'll continue my search tomorrow when the eyes are more rested. I hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's more you need clarified. Well keep at it until you're comfortable.
