Alternative Medicine for Esophageal Cancer?

Does anyone have experience or advice regarding alternative medicine?

Specifically, the T-Cell treatment (Gamma-Delta Treatment), a combination of drugs Proleukine and Zometa?

After several rounds of chemo and radiation we are back on Folfox, indefinitely, and it's not an ideal treatment plan. Our doctors admitted they are "baffled" and we are feeling like the current standard of care is a dead end.

Suggestions/ideas welcome.
