Jerri:

If you're happyy with the treatment you are getting then perhaps it might make all of you feel better to just go and have a second opinion.

Depending on where you live, you could head for one of the Univ based treatment centers, or one of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

As far as complementary treatment centers go, I've researched them and they tend to be pricey, about $30k for a months treatment. There are books that you can purchase and do a similar treatment regimen on your own at home.

I've been loosely following the Gessler and Issler treatment methods, organice fruits and vegetables, unprocessed foods, as few preservatives and additives as possible, etc.

I discussed this with my oncologist, and while he wasn't convinced that it would help, he didn't think it would hurt either.
