Re: Anyone here taking care of a loved one with cancer?

 My suggestion is to do a search for cancer support groups and see if you can find one which is oriented towards natural/alternative treatments.  For example, the group I started several years ago now has about 3,000 members, many of which have either battled cancer or else helped loved ones battle cancer (most often successfully):

I can tell you in advance that most members will not look favorably on radiation, but don't let that deter you from joining the group or a similar alternative cancer support group.
