Hello Mart1n0,

I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to Cancer Chat and say that I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

I can understand why you'd be looking for viable alternative therapies now but it is also important to make an informed decision.

The information we have is that despite research into various types of alternative therapy, there is no scientific or medical evidence to show that alternative therapies can help to treat or cure cancer.

Some alternative therapies may be harmful and cause side effects or interfere with conventional cancer treatments. They may cost a lot of money. If you are considering alternative therapy it is very important that you discuss this with your treatment team first.

Even if cancer can't be cured with conventional treatments, doctors will still be able to help to control symptoms such as pain and sickness using conventional medicine. So it is important to stay in touch with doctors and discuss treatment possibilities with them.

Also, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team of nurses if speaking to someone on the phone might help, they are available Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on this phone number: 0808 800 40 40.
