It is so very stressful!!And when we were on Gerson that was a stress point for me. Luckily there are more physicians now who are educated about alternative treatments. My friend went through breastcancer treatment and agreed to a surgery for removal, but then turned down other options to do Budwig instead. She ended up firing one doctor and found one who was willing to work with her and not be dismissive and arrogant and down putting. Hugs to you. Take your time and don't allow anyone to pressure you. Deep down you will know what you feel comfortable trying. In the end - we never know what is the right decision - with everything in life.... hoping for the best.
