Hi Sam,

Sorry to hear you have cancer, but pleased to hear your good news.

Your cancer team should have communicated with you better. As I understand it, chemo is almost always offered about six weeks after surgical removal as a way of dealing with any invisible cancer cells which may have spread through your body.

It's a bit like pulling up weeds in your garden and then putting weedkiller down to stop any seeds growing.

Having chemo reduces the odds of a recurrence and gives a lot of people peace of mind, but can have unpleasant side effects. Everyone needs to decide for themselves which is the least worst option for them.

The naturopath option has no scientific evidence behind it, despite the claims of the people selling it as an alternative. 

I hope this helps.
Dave
