Natural treatments

Chemo would be too difficult for her to take and since the tumours were in lungs she could not get radiotherapy. So we were left with hormone therapy only which had very little effect. After 3…

Another post-cancer question...
I am experiencing two things that are concerning me, and I wonder if I should call the doctor regarding it, or just figure it is because my body went through hades: 1.
