For about a year and a half now, I have sat by and watched my father suffer from cancer. It started out in his stomach, and has recently moved to his lungs. Throughout the year and a half, he has been undergoing treatment. The majority of his treatments were chemotherapy; at one point he was getting chemotherapy drugs pumped into his body all day long, by a machine that he carried in a pack around his waist. When things got more severe, his oncologist added radiation treatments to his plan of action.
When we first found out about my father's cancer, his doctors briefly discussed alternative cancer treatments. After a year passed by, the cancer was getting worse, despite the treatments my father was continuously being put through. That is when I decided to start researching alternative treatments in more depth. I discovered that alternative treatments are pretty widely used, despite the lack of recommendation by doctors.
Although most treatments are generally meant to go along with chemotherapy and radiation to lessen their side effects, there are a few treatments out there (kept under wraps) that may help to cure cancer. Treatments such as acupuncture, or immune therapy can help to keep a cancer patient more comfortable while they undergo their other treatments. Treatments of the sort are generally pretty affordable, and recommended by the patients that have used them.
