In your treatment of breast cancer?
We have through our Cancer Clinic Center (Swedish of Seattle) early on once we had our diagnosis. He helped us through each phase of treatment and we are still using him. How was your experience with yours?
For those that may not know what one does here is something I copied and pasted:
"NDs treat all medical conditions and can provide both individual and family healthcare. Among the most common ailments they treat are allergies, chronic pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, obesity, respiratory conditions, heart disease, fertility problems, menopause, adrenal fatigue, cancer, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. NDs can perform minor surgeries, such as removing cysts or stitching up superficial wounds. However, they do not practice major surgery. NDs are trained to utilize prescription drugs, although the emphasis of naturopathic medicine is the use of natural healing agents." Our oncologist knows the doctor we use and is ok with his help, and I believe he has been most helpful in our cancer care.

Dave,
Was the ND doctor associated with your cancer care center or did they refer you to him?

They referred him to us and we consider him a critical part of our cancer kick ass team! He had a brochure about his services and all the doctors that we deal with at Swedish know him.
