Dear Pamela,
I am totaly with you, please consider 100 times before deciding to go through Chemo, it is a rather destructive treatment, my mother went through it and we lost the battle because of it.
My friend the prognoses of cancer is normally so poor, so normally it is the end, yet there is something we should know; life is what we enjoy and live well, as long as he is happy, try to keep him so.
As for alternative medicine, try GNLD products as they are all natural and builds up the immune system as well. At least his body well be strong and general condition will be good, and leave the rest to God.
