What is a less toxic more natural alternative to chemo therapy for breast cancer treatment ?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
None proven: Unfortunately, the only scientifically proven treatment is chemotherapy. As much as we feel with patients regarding side effects, one should not opt for less proven therapies.

It depends: Each person with breast cancer is differen. Age, physical + mental ability, preference for treatment, cancer stage and other characteristics all play a role in deciding on treatment. Chemotherapy is not always required. "natural" treatments to decrease the risk of a recurrence would include smoking cessation, limited alcohol consumption, a healthy diet, and maintaining a weight in the normal range.
