If you spend enough time trying to digest everything that has been touted on the web as a "cure for cancer", all the legitamate research about options and current therapies, comparing people's contradictory conventional treatment modalities (we are all unique beings with different degrees and locations of disease), you will expend enough time for this disease to go beyond a point at which you might rid yourself of it. The only choice you have right now which makes any sense, is to choose the best multiciplinary cancer center that you can get into, and get your butt to them. The experts there will, with their far superior knowldge and experience base, determine what avenue of treatment is best for your unique situation based on thousands of patients treated before you, and you will put yourself in their hands as your best option. If you are seeking out tree bark and more similar fringe ideas to cure yourself, you are wasting valuable time exploring things which have no proven peer reviewed efficacy, and during that time while you are trying to avoid conventional, proven methods for staying alive, let the disease prosper and grow to a point at which the morbidity associated with your treatments will be greater, or your chances of survival will be lesser.

If you wait long enough you will not have any choices. This is the cold reality of cancers and their successful treatment. Do not let your fear of treatments you have heard about take you down a path that seems less taxing, that in the long run will not bear a positive outcome. The treatments are tough, but they are only one part of your life that will be tough. Life is not a guided tour. You have to make good choices to navigate its many pitfalls, most not within your control to forsee, and still survive.
