After my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer, we immediately started to explore the field of alternative cancer treatment options. My wife was not against conventional cancer treatments, but she felt that there is more that she could do in order to help her body in its fight against the disease. She received three surgeries before the margins came back clear - that means that no more malignant cells were found in the tissue samples.
When we received the pathology report, it turned out that her breast cancer was ER-/PR-. That means that the available chemotherapy protocols would only offer very limited benefits and in our opinion, were therefore not convincing enough, bearing in mind their severe side effects. Further to that, the location of the tumor was practically next to her heart and which made us feel uncomfortable with radiation therapy.
Therefore, alternative cancer treatments shifted more and more in our focus. But there is a problem. The information on this topic you can get through the internet or by reading books is simply overwhelming, and sometimes even contradicting. Therefore, it is crucial to weed through all the data and identify the alternative cancer treatment options that were proven to be successful and safe.
It took us a little bit of time until we finally found two highly accredited oncologist that strongly support alternative cancer treatments. Both of them were trained as regular M.D.s in Oncology. I think this is a very critical point. Health Care Professionals should always see the whole picture in order to be objective in the assessment of a patient's situation. I know that our doctors are not against traditional cancer treatments, but much rather see the alternative cancer treatments as an effective way to strengthen the body's immune system, which is proven to be an effective way to fight cancer. I am neither a doctor nor an expert in this field. All I can do is sharing with you what we chose to do.
My wife started to receive intravenous vitamin c drips and laetrile twice a week as part of her alternative cancer treatment protocol. Further to that, with the help of an Oncologist and nutritionist, she was put on a large number of supplements, each one targeted to her breast cancer. This s very important! You need someone on your side who gives you advice on what exactly you need. It is not advisable to just go ahead an buy supplements by yourself. This could be harmful and secondly, also ineffective. Further to that, supplements for alternative cancer treatments are very expensive and you want to make sure that you spend your money on the right things.
