A cancer diagnosis is always a shock, and studies show that people with a positive, aggressive, "co-doctor" attitude towards their cancer have higher survival rates. It also is true that doctors practicing conventional medicine are trapped in a system that only lets them follow and prescribe the "standard of treatment," even if they themselves would not do it. For example, a survey of oncologists at McGill University in Toronto showed that 95% would not undergo chemotherapy themselves or for their families if they were diagnosed with cancer, yet chemotherapy is the most common treatment oncologists prescribe.

The cancer survivor must find information about non-conventional treatments on their own, and then discuss them with their health care professional. Many non-conventional treatments complement conventional medicine, reducing the side effects of treatment and boosting the immune system to clean up any cancerous cells that are missed. Chemotherapy and radiation both depress the immune system, yet a supercharged immune system is the best defense against cancer recurring, and often can cure cancers on its own, without additional treatment. Even the American Cancer Society says: "A person with a healthy immune system will not get cancer."

Sorting through the ebooks available on alternative cancer treatment can be time-consuming and confusing, but it is a necessary first step on the road back to health. Use a search engine with a broad term like "cancer book" to get a list of what is available. Check cancer book review websites for book ratings. There are good general books with hundreds of alternative cancer treatments, and others with specific step-by-step programs to beat your cancer. You will probably find some hidden gems to help you understand the latest information and clinical trial results for discussion with your doctor. Many books' websites have good information about treating cancer, such as the flax oil and cottage cheese diet created by Dr. Johanna Budwig, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize seven times and lived to 103.

If you think of yourself not as a patient or a victim, but as a survivor, you can find information, advice and a step-by-step plan to help you beat your cancer. Even your doctor may be pleasantly surprised
