answer:I had a cousin who fought MM for 5 years with a lot of success, but she went the traditional route with two stem cell transplant and chemo. Finally she simply got exhausted. But she had five good years and was able to work, travel, see her sons and friends. The only alternative treatment I used while undergoing tradition treatment for breast cancer (lumpecdomy, chemo, radiation and tamoxifin by mouth for four years) was yoga, meditation and diaphragmatic breathing to fight anxiety. I also used mental imagery during radiation. I imagined the cancer cells first being pinged with a sling shot, then a BB gun, then a hand gun and kept accelerating the metaphor. At my last radiation treatment, I imagined an atomic bomb getting any remaining cancer cells That was 14 years ago. But I also changed my diet radically, started an exercise program, began to volunteer, refused to get angry at anything and acquired a cat. I am sorry to learn about your mother but wish her (and you) the best.
