My best bud just found out that bone cancer has spread to lungs. Another friend recommended we get a "cancer guide" . I have contacted one, but have not heard back. These guides are supposed to help us investigate alternatives, learn about best practices ect. Any thoughts or suggestions? They want to start chemo next week, so we are working under a tight time frame. thanks.

I have never heard of a "cancer guide." I guess my advice is "buyer be ware."

I sometimes wonder if these people can really do any more than we can??? I had a friend who went through a "cancer guide". Alot of money was spent, and most of the "guiding" was on the net and off sites such as these. As you can see, and understand, my friends were not happy. And in the end- it did little- other than drain their already empty bank account.

I'm critical- but please be awere and look into it really well. IF you decide to follow this through.

I would research it on the internet first you should be able to find any information you need if you look hard enough.
