Answer by Tarkarri
Which type of cancer?
What treatment is she having?
Be very careful, there are a lot of scams out there.
Some may relieve some symptoms, some may have a placebo effect, some while doing no good will do no harm other than separating your family from their money, others wil actively counteract treatments being given by her Dr’s and may hasten her death.
The reason these treatments are not offered by Dr’s is there is no scientific evidence that they are safe or that they work, only anecdotal evidence.

A lot of people believe apricot seeds are a natural cancer remedy. You’re supposed to start with 2 a day and move up to 8. Also, marijuana has been known to shrink tumors.
The trouble with asking about ‘natural remedies’ is that you will be given advice such as your second answerer has given you. That is, well-meaning advice from people who know very little about cancer but have read about a so-called alternative treatment on the internet.
Apricot seeds is one of the few ‘alternative’ cancer treatments that has been thoroughly tested, and not only has it been found to be completely ineffective against cancer but it’s also dangerous as it contains cyanide. And there is no scientific evidence that marijuana shrinks tumours.
The sad thing is, wherever there’s cancer there’s a ruthless charlatan eager to part desperate people from their cash in exchange for ineffective and sometimes dangerous ‘alternative’ ot ‘natural’ treatments.
If there was a natural treatment that worked few of us would have cancer and nobody would die of it.
I suggest that if you are interested in a particular alternative treatment you do a search on this site for facts before investing money and hope in an ineffective and possibly dangerous treatment

My best wishes to your aunt – and your dad; having had cancer myself and watched people I love go through it, I can tell you that the second is sometimes worse than the first.
