Lots of people continue to see their regular oncologist but do not disclose their use of (for example) fenbendazole. Allopathic doctors have to follow standards of care and they usually will discourage any deviation from it. There is a robust community of alternative treatment advocates on social media/web who will point you to the research studies and naturopath or integrative medicine practitioners they have found. As we’ve learned from Covid, we can’t put all (or any) of our faith on the doctor in the white coat. They have too much incentive (read pharma $$) or are too blinded by their pharma sponsored medical education to consider options outside of their paradigm

Oh I know all that 💯. I was quite dusturbed when my mom went for a radiation consult, and the doctor was full of charismatic personality and was touting the treatments as a walk in the park that would help her manage her cancer. I knew from what I had heard through the years that he was being a con artist. Infact a friend of mine in Europe successfully endured chemo but the radiation killed her.

I was impressed however that both her gastro and pcp told me not to have her 'go through that at her age'. (so much for the upbeat radiologists speal! ) They both compassionately recommended hospice care. Though she did not want radiation which the oncologist recommended (because she was not one to trust doctors blindly and knew that drugs could be poison), never the less I was overwhelmed with making decisions.

My point in asking was that I know how overwhelming decisions can be, and wondered how people navigate that horrible, horrible, situation (worrying about life and finances) at a time when you need to lean on someone's medical guidance for help.
