Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 17 | Does anyone have any information on immunotheraphy treatments? What is it? How does it help? What do you do after surgery, after radiation, after chemo to build the immune system. How do you find the right clinic or person (who isn't a quack) to start complimentary or alternarive approaches after the fact? Thanks!
