Hi Gwen and welcome to the forum. Cancer makes people feel vulnerable and it always seems like there has to be a better way than the radical conventional treatments. I haven't seen good results with alternative treatments. You mentioned that your brother's condition is terminal, is that what the doctor has told you? If that is the case did he already have conventional treatments and did that fail or did he have a recurrence?

There's a great deal of misinformation on whether advanced stages of cancer are always terminal and they are NOT. However, they are always life threatening and can progress to a terminal stage if left untreated. Even in terminal stages some people reach a status quo with palliative treaments and survive a couple of years. Please remember that there is no universal profile for any of us so the answer to all of this is it depends.

How long has your brother had cancer, what treatments has he had and why are they saying his condition is terminal?

Regards JoAnne
