All we're saying is that our combined knowledge on this site tells us that the standard Tx protocol is the only one with scientifically proven results and that is where the bulk of your time and energy should be concentrated. Seek as many opinions as you need but always keep your chosen medical team in the loop and is in agreement if you decide any alternative Tx is worth a try. I went to 5 different cancer docs before I "picked" my course of action and I had all sorts of friends and clients that told me of "better" ways to cure my cancer but thankfully I went the tried and tested path and that's JM2C's.
