Hi Catherine, just a word of caution about phrases like alternative treatment, cancer free and cure. Alternative medicine is unregulated and there are many charlatans out there preying upon people desparate for a cure and hope.

There are many reasons that people may choose to refuse or discontinue chemo. My father chose to discontinue chemo with stage 4 colorectal cancer. We supported his decision as his quality of life had become so limited and he didn't want to live his final time that way. It was definitely the right decision for him and for his loved ones.

Integrative or complementary medicine is increasingly accepted by cancer care teams as evidenced-based. Mayo Clinic has an Integrative Medicine and Health Deparment https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/integrative-medicine-health/sections/overview/ovc-20464567

Did I understand correctly that the result of your biopsy showed that you have breast cancer with lymph node involvment? What more do you know? Have you discussed treatment options with your cancer care team?
