I am facing the decision right now to get treatment or not.  Still unsure.

I would need to research before making a decision. I definitely would fight.

Depends on the cancer and what stage it is.

I'm just adding, my mom is a 3 time cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at 41. She had chemo and radiation which has permanently messed with her body. (Her thyroid is all messed up and even though she only eats a bag of carrots and a bowl of oatmeal a day, she's still overweight. Her bones are paper thin and break very easily because of chemo.) She wishes she had known about natural cures then. 5 years later, they found cervical cancer and it didn't need chemo/radiation, so they just froze it off. 3 years after that, breast cancer came back. Her doctor told her she needed to go home and get her affairs in order. That's when she spent a LOT of time googling and researching (going to health food stores). She went to a strictly raw vegetable diet. She drank 32oz of carrot juice a day and drank a tea thing. (I forget what it's called.) Within a couple of months, the doctors couldn't find the cancer.

She's currently a very healthy and awesome mom and grandma.

I would depend on my chances for survival. If I was so far gone that it would only prolong the inevitable for a few months I think I would just live my life until I couldn't anymore. If there was a good chance I would survive I might think about chemo. I seen a friend go through all that and she died anyway so I'm not sure what I would do.

Have you looked into natural treatments? If you are, I'd be happy to ask my mom what exactly she did. You can PM me if you want
