I can understand your fear/unease when browsing these forums. I too was a bit nervous and fearful. Cancer is no joke, there is no other proven treatment than the surgery, likely rads and possibly chemo approach.

I hate to be harsh, but I challenge any drum beater, anti-cancer diet pusher or alternative medicine groupie to show me the data.

There are folks who say that its all big pharma pushing these expensive treatments... These alternative paths are bovine feces, and please don't get caught up in it due to fear. They are people looking to make a buck off of your very real fear and should be covered in honey and staked down the nearest ant hill.

Now that you know how I really feel: I do believe it's a very human reaction to look for some less scary way to deal with things and very understandable, but it will not help.

You have to accept you're in it for the battle of your life and get ready to fight, because it will be tough, but this board will help you get thru it.
