Default Re: cancer -alternative therapies?

If I were given only a year to live and had to have chemo and radiation, I would rather die within a month than deal with the side effects of those treatments.

i don't think so. my dad was in pretty much the same situation as op, and chemo and radiation kept him alive 18 months, and all but maybe 2-3 months of that he was in pretty good shape. obviously the chemo is a grind, but his quality of life was remarkably good really.

btw op, what type of cancer. my dad died of pancreatic cancer a couple years ago beginning from a similar prognosis, i can probably answer any other questions you might have.
