the risks of the proceedures surely is minimal....it is far too risky not to do them as it is imperrative they know the full picture, so the right treatment is given.
as with anything there is risk involved, but the situation surely shouldnt be one in question! i agree with your naturopath....good ones always refer those unsure to those who know more about specific diseases.
keep in mind that cancer of almost anykind caught and treated early is the BEST thing.
