Like StephN said, it will be difficult to find a location to get either of those treatments.

The first article you posted seems to refer to Provera or other similar drugs, the only thing I can think of is if you can find a sympathetic PCP to prescribe it for you. But there are side effects and she would need to be monitored closely.

If your mom still has standard treatment options, I'd opt for those first, as there is no reason to believe these other options mentioned in those links would be more helpful to her, and the standard options are based on clinical evidence.

In my case, I've always chosen to go with standard treatment options, and only looked to complementary or alternative options when I'm not on treatment. If I was left with no traditional treatment options, and no clinical trials were available to me, then perhaps I'd consider something like this. But not before.

Hope you find something to help your mom before too long.
