Are you looking for supportive additional treatments for you as a person or anti-cancer treatments? If the first, my surgeon suggested acupuncture and I gather it can be helpful for post surgical pain. There are massage therapists who specialize in cancer patients.
However, supplements etc. tend to be unproven, unregulated, and expensive. Alternative treatments that do work tend to have side effects etc. For example, a holistic healer recommended mistletoe infusions to me for breast cancer as that is common in Europe. However, these are indeed invasive and have side effects. And in the US as a rule they are not given by doctors. So be very cautious about invasive "holistic" treatments. And of course you need to tell your oncologist about anything you are doing.
Hope you find what you need!

Ty
Ian well researched
Ian receiveing hi dose bit C etc.

I have been doing the mistletoe treatments for about 13 months now. The side effects are very very small. I get a small amount of redness around the injection site and that is the only side effect. At my mammogram in December, I was clear. I did not do the AI therapy of the radiation as I was not willing to put up with the debilitating side effects. I will turn 73 this month. Your regimen of treatments is a very personal choice and you need to do a lot of research and decide what you can tolerate and what you can't! Good luck.
