When my wife was first getting treatments, we started looking at alternatives besides chemo. She didn't have the best reaction to her first chemo session (which is obviously common) but she wanted to see what else was there.

There's really nothing there unless you're willing to out of pocket thousands of dollars for something someone said might work, and most likely just scamming you anyways. The only alternative medicine she did was a prayer group where they used these voodoo like dolls to pin the pain away. She did it a few times, it was free. I think it helped her mentally more than anything.

In the end, chemo worked, saw dramatic improvements and shrinking after the second chemo session, I don't think she would have gotten the same results elsewhere.

Chemo and regular medicine saved her life, but I'd understand if none of it was working, looking for an alternative is what we'd continue to pursue.
