My late wife is a cancer victim and I am a widower because of that. Hers was only diagnosed as such when she had bone ache. By then, I think it was already very advanced and the first doctor who treated her I think treated her on the basis of some kind of Hospice care, meaning he did not expect much hope. They didn't even know what kind of cancer it was until another hospital in another country diagnosed it as breast cancer. But it was a very rare form of breast cancer as the tumor was so tiny that it was practically unnoticeable, even at that late stage. I can still remember the confusion that reigned in our family, not knowing what to do.
Because of some Facebook event where we were supposed to submit some photos of a candlelight vigil for some cause and which had a dateline, the photo I wanted to submit was too late to be included in that Facebook event. Instead of letting the photo go to waste, I started Digital Candlelight Vigil and invited others to join in. A very good online friend from Sunshine Coast, Australia submitted a digital photo for a candlelight vigil for cancer victim and that was uploaded to Candlelight Vigil for cancer victims. That touched my heart as my late wife too was a cancer victim. So I rounded up my family and added ours. I found out later that his late wife too was a cancer victim. He says cancer seems to be everywhere. It must be our environment, our food. There must be too many carcinogenic substances floating around now what with the thousands of synthetic chemicals churned out by our "modern" society, with many of them untested and whose long term effects are unknown.
Having gone through that harrowing experience, any centers that claims to have concrete plans on how to deal with cancer is highly welcomed, and one of them is the Alternative Cancer Center for I vividly remember the sense of helplessness and hopelessness when my late wife was sick and had to undergo traditional treatment including chemotherapy which uses toxic chemicals and caused her to go bald, plus radiotherapy or radiation therapy using ionizing radiation, including X-ray. Those were very drastic treatments.
Alternative Cancer Treatment Center claims to have a treatment plan to merge traditional treatment with alternative cancer treatments. Where warranted, they use a lower dose of chemotherapy or Metronomic which they say may work as well or better than traditional higher doses of chemotherapy. New Hope Medical Center also claims to be able to deliver a precise dosage of radiation using equipment which I think they call TomoTherapy. According to the website of the manufacturer of TomoTherapy, their treatment system integrates optimized planning, image-guidance and helical delivery to provide precise, continuous radiation therapy from all angles around the patient and which New Hope Medical Center says will deliver a dose of radiation to a targeted area and limit unnecessary harmful radiation to nearby normal cells using image-guidance. New Hope Medical Center also claims to use leading radiologists who provide great care in radiation procedure.
Note that New Hope Cancer Treatment Centers, Inc. do not make any implicit or explicit claims on curing cancer, but says their objective is to use and increase the body's own immune system to repair and defend itself.
