I am a health nut. I am a vegetarian, I minimize carbs, I don't smoke don't drink, I meditate I try to be alkaline. But knowing this disease... I would still take standard treatment and do the holistic thing as well.
My health and diet helped me fare well through treatment, however it didn't stop me from getting cancer.
Take a really good look at Steve Jobs... He believed in holistic treatment and stopped all standard care. He was a brilliant man, but that wasn't a brilliant move. My advice for what it's worth is do whatever you can, because there may come a day that they can't and won't offer you treatment - you need to know you did all you can to fight this.
Hugs.
