Hello jessiey, thank you for opening this new discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.
Hi everyone, how are you doing? Have you heard of any alternative treatment options for cancer? Have any of you opted for any complementary or alternative methods? For those who have, what have you tried? Have they helped?

I went to 4 oncologists who all said " Poison, Cut, Burn" This was the 2nd diagnosis of Breast cancer in 6 years. The more recent was more aggressive, its having gone into the lymph nodes. I opted to research for natural remedies. I kept finding vastly expensive treatments with payment up front all over US anind into Mexico. Finally googled Naturopath and came up with one near me but she doesn't treat cancer. She referred me to Dr. Singh in Cleveland OH, Options Naturopathic Clinic. All out of pocket. Keto diet, Supplements ( I could only afford most essential ones) and detox hydrotherapy. Had to have tumor and some lymph nodes removed. Went to radiologist but decided not gor me. Naturopath said my body was not ready for radiation anyway...need to be in Ketosis which I never have been even though stuck pretty much to diet. find Sugars tested ok. Do extensive blood testing. Eleven vials worth. Had to find a dr who would put in orders because these are out of the ordinary tests and I've had Drs refuse to do the orders. Insurance will not pay otherwise. Pain in the neck!
Oncologist's blood tests showed that I " looked like a woman who has never had cancer"! Hooray....! This was 2018 thru 2020 when I had surgery. Just did tests again. Will post results as soon as I go over them with Options Naturopathic Clinic. Everyone take care of YOU. Not even drs know what is better treatment. They have to go by latest drug recommendations. It's a big PHRMA and Insurance scheme. Do what YOU feel you can deal with. I questioned myself a lot and prayed a lot. I just felt I was right for me. Joellen

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Has anyone refused chemo or other cancer treatment for alternative or holistic methods? It's too late in my case as I'm in treatment but I don't think I've really heard much about alternative treatment options. Or at least none were presented to me in all of my various appointments. Just curious.
