Thanks Andrea, I consider myself one of the lucky ones as I appear to be in remission for the present!
I hope you are looking into some of the eating issues. For example drinking fresh carrot juice can inhibit cancer. The more that's on your side, the lower the chance of a recurrence. There is a lot of quack stuff out there but there are also juried scientific studies too. Try to take everything away that makes a cancer friendly environment in your body.
I believe a mix of traditional and alternative treatments are better than one or the other. There is a lot of new technology. For skin cancer there is photo dynamic therapy and a new Australian device that is very effective and penetrates deeply. I'm sure there are new treatments for other types of cancer.
