Father, 56 age diagnosed with colon cancer,stage 3. After surgery all 5 lymph nodes and infected part of colon was removed.now advised 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Can we consider ayurvedic treatment for this for first 2-3 months, then evaluate progress.if it works then can we skip chemotherapy as patient is not cooperating.pls advise. We have met few ayurvedic doctors who are confident of helping with medicine to prevent reoccurrence

Chances of cancer reoccurring after surgery is high without chemotherapy.chemotherapy has enough evidence over ayurvedic medicine.ineffective medicine has no side effects.
Next Steps
meet Medical oncologist for evaluation and further treatment
