Should I do chemotherapy and radiation or try natural treatment instead?
Community Member
3 days agoI was just diagnosed on the 12th of Feb. I went to the oncologist yesterday and he was just matter of fact . You'll have chemotherapy and radiation therapy. I need to get a PET scan to see where I'm at then I'll see the radiation therapy doctor. In not sure I even want to go this route. I might just do this with diet and fasting and natural supplement. The thought of radiation burning me and changing my pelvic floor and vaginal area scares me. I don't want to be on pain the rest of my life. Anyone else complete the NIGRO protocol?

3 days agoFacing a new diagnosis brings up so many overwhelming emotions and difficult decisions about treatment paths. It's completely natural to feel scared about potential side effects and want to explore all options available. The Nigro protocol is a well-established treatment that many in this community have experience with, so connecting with others who've been through it could provide valuable insights. Consider having an open conversation with your medical team about your concerns regarding side effects - they may be able to address your fears and discuss ways to manage potential complications. Whatever path feels right for you, this community is here to support you through the journey.
