@sradeb, picking up on the advice of @proftom2, I also think you could engage the help of a medical professional who practices integrative oncology.
They can discuss options as well as help define a shared understanding of goals of treatment, cure, and natural.
More and more cancer centers and oncology specialists are open to discussing and integrating complementary medicine in programs called Integrative Medicine or Integrative Oncology. Integrative medicince is offered at many cancer centers of excellence, including Mayo Clinic.
Here's a link to more information about Mayo Clinic's Integrative Medicine programs

In this Mayo Clinic Q & A Podcast. Dr. D'Andre talks about how integrative oncology can be incorporated into conventional cancer care at Mayo Clinic.

Since the advice of @proftom2, I've been looking into both integrative oncology and naturopathic oncology. Unfortunately to the husband Integrative just seems like ways of dealing with the symptoms of normal (i.e. radiation, surgery and chemo) treatments so he's not interested in hearing that word. But I do have him interested in naturopathic so while he tries the Mediterranean diet it at least gives me something to research so I don't feel so helpless.
