A member asked:

Are there other cancer treatment besides traditional medicine/quemotherapy?

Forgive my frankness: If you have cancer, even a little basal cell carcinoma on your nose, it will eventually kill you, period, unless you have appropriate surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. The alternative medicine community ranges from people who offer labor-intensive comfort measures that can help to the most cynical, cruel, and dishonest charlatans who will play anyone for a fool. Please be careful.

Yes, many, but...: Conventional medicine is very effective for certain cancers but often ineffective for advanced cancers. Alternatives include herbs & supplements to boost immunity & kill cancer cells,detoxification, IV vitamin C, hyperthermia, dietary changes, homeopathy, mind-body techniques like visualization & social support.Research proves these can help but they're best when combined with standard approaches.
