For those who don't subscribe to western medical practice, they are likely not in this group. Therefore, you will hear none of their advices.

As to the non western medicine route, there is actually none that can stand up to be scrutinized. The surgical removal of a known tumor is the most efficient way to treat breast cancer. Having said that, I hasten to add that there are herb type medicine that seems to empirically prevent the tumor from coming back. Mushroom pills, curcumin, fatty acid balance, less sugar and fat intake, exercise, etc. are all helpful.

By the way, the chemo treatment is a systemic way to kill the type of cells that divides rapidly. It is not a healing process. It is a process to kill any stray bad cancer cells, in repetitive fashion. Even then, the killing may have missed the targets that may hide in some safe haven. It is a guessing game on how much the chemo treatment should last, or using which chemo agent(s).
