Welcome to our forum jklondon!

I hope you will find this forum informative and supportive. If you ever have any cancer-related questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team of nurses on 0808 800 40 40.

You can find out more about the safety of complementary and alternative therapies on our website, as well as some information about the difference between the two. 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 your conventional cancer treatment. They may cost a lot of money. If you are considering stopping conventional cancer treatment to try an alternative therapy it is very important that you discuss this with your treatment team first. Even when a cancer can't be cured with conventional treatments, your doctor 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 your doctor and discuss treatment possibilities with them.

I hope this helps!

Best wishes,
