    my dad did some alternative therapies for leukemia. we lived near stanford, and he was referred to a few experimental things there through his oncologist. I would say the best thing would be to discuss with an oncologist and see if he can point you in the right direction. if there is a particular therapy program you are interested in – you can call them and ask how to get involved. also social workers were great resources for my family when my dad was dealing with cancer. good luck.

    You might contact the American Cancer Society. They will have information on available treatment plans for all types of cancer.

    These pranayam exercises will help control the cancer and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later.Cancer hates oxygen, so the pranayam will supplement the radiation.The doctor will be surprised when he checks the improved results and may ask about pranayam.
