See below: There are no holistic approaches to treating breast cancer. Sometimes a simple medicine (tamoxifen) is used instead of standard treatment if the patient is very old, has alzheimer's etc., but surgery is well tolerated and the standard for most breast cancers. There are holistic approaches that can deal with side effects, depression, tiredness, aches and pains, etc, but they are not curative.
