Alternative Cancer Treatment does it work or is it a Myth.

Great story told with grace
Well done Hondo.

Thank you for sharing your story. This is well timed with some nasty debate going on on the CSN boards over alternative treatment posts.

I hope your experience will instill hope for some of the folks here and show that there are other ways through this challenge of cancer, and one does not have to give up the fight.

Like conventional therapies, there are many different Alternative treatments, and they all work in different ways to each other. People in search of an alternative or complimentary approaches to conventional treatments can find this information, but it may required some serious digging. They may also be fortunate to have a persistence friend or relative to corral them in the right direction like your brother who dragged you along somewhat reluctant, to seek help.

'Crossing over' and starting on an alternative route can take a while as we tend to procrastinate, often for far too long. The one alternative herbal remedy I have used, I had heard about it years before, was told about it again when I was diagnosed by some friends, I read about it, and still it was 18 months before I actually decided to try and then when I did buy my stuff, it sat on the shelf for another 5 months. It was only when I saw a clear testimonial, photographs, spoke to the guy who used it, then found many similar sources and reports, that I went for it. Now I wonder "What was I waiting for ?" . I now find it ironical that most of us make the decision (or it is made for us) to go the conventional route in one brief Doctors visit.

We all need a little motivating, and the many posts here on the subject are generally just trying to give people that little 'nudge'. There is a fine line between advocacy/advice, and sharing the experience on these boards to meet the T’s & C’s of CSN participation.
Your post is a valuable lesson Hondo.

The decision to try may require a leap of faith, luck, divine intervention and more likely just someone like you telling of your experience, (or a loving brother to drag your butt along even slightly against your will).

Thank you again for your eloquent nudge.

Best to you Hondo.

YOU INSPIRE ME TO KEEP GOING
Hondo, this post is just one of many of yours that I read and always draw something positive from. Finding your own ways of treating your illness sometimes is the only way to keep moving forward with this stuff.

I have not had to bear the news of a re occurrance, so I am staying the course with my medical team. it works for me in the now and present.

I admire you for having the courage to 'step out of the box" and try something different. And thank god it may have had something to do with you still being here. I am a better person for getting to converse with you.

God Bless!!

Mike
