How do you "fight"?

What do you include in your "fight" against your cancer? I was diagnosed last June (age 56) as stage 4, with mets to the lungs, liver, and bones. Everything shrunk within the first 3 months and has stayed the same since then. My Ca 27-29 went from 261 to 37 and then down to 24. My last Taxotere treatment was Dec. 6 and I am continuing on Herceptin and Aredia. I have an upbeat attitude (but am not buying any convertibles!) and am drinking Xango (mangosteen juice). It has been suggested I try juicing (carrot juice - the Hallelujah Diet) while I'm off chemo, to stay off it as long as possible. My 27-29 went up to 30.7 last week (still normal, I know, but the first time it has gone up since I started) so I'm considering trying it. What do you think? I know everyone knows someone who cured their cancer by all kinds of crazy things, but this doesn't seem too outrageous. How much do you do to fight? I have very much enjoyed this site since I found it last month. Thanks!
