  • Hi Sheisla,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK and that this forum can provide some support to you.

    Regarding the alternative treatments, it's best to discuss this with your doctor/specialist if you haven't already - they will be able to advise on this and to flag if they have any concerns at all.

    Aside from that, hopefully you'll receive further replies here soon. We're always here for support if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
