You have nothing to apologize about. As far as I know, there is no proven success by healers. Stay away from your friend and her healer, this is my advice.

There are legitimate alternative medicines which do have certain efficacy. Some of them improve the quality of life, which for some people is a quite important element of "cure". Some practices such as acupuncture, reduce pain and stress, make chemo easier to take, are also quite useful.

Best luck.
