Consider all forms of treatment. Keep in mind that chemotherapy is poisonous to the body. Do all the research you can. We shouldn't be turning our lives/health over to doctors. It's important to learn all we can about any disease, then take responsibility for our personal wellness. Most doctors are trained in traditional medicine only and don't have time to learn about complementary approaches. A comprehensive approach seems a good choice.

I am so sorry to say that I absolutely and completely disagree with you except when you say that chemotherapy is poison to the body.(and to cancer cells) Surgery, chemo and radiation are effective ways to fight cancer. In the future with knowledge increasing in genetics we will have a different approach.
I also agree that keeping your body healthy with good nutritional choices and appropriate exercise is always wise.
But I also believe that not all doctors are the same. In my humble opinion, finding an oncologist that has been trained at a highly regarded institution and who is in practice with a large number of oncologists trained in the same way is the best approach to begin the treatment of cancer.
I watched a friend choose the route of alternative medicine and we lost her. Although the traditional medical community cannot save everyone, they are by far your best shot, when it is YOU who has cancer.
I by no means intend to anger you. I sincerely beg you or anyone having a diagnosis of cancer to NEVER go any other route but the best medical doctor trained in oncology that they can find. Please.
