Kathy,
Unfortunately my father's stage was extensive small cell lung cancer. The only
symptoms he had was bone pain, by the time of diagnosis it really metastasized to
other areas. I was looking to alternative therapy in addition to chemo. I was
told that chemo should put the cancer into remission, however, it could comes
back. I would like to prevent it from coming back, and that is why I am
inquiring about alternative medicine.
Best regards,
Enver
