I was diagnosed with colon cancer & had a hemi colectomy. oncology recommended that i go for preventative chemotherapy. is there any alternative preventative care available if i choose not to go for chemo? anything that would boost my immune system

No: There is no effective way to boost the immune response to deal with residual colon cancer, if any. You should follow your doctor's advise.
