I agree with @melclarity and @auOrei, I have a naturopath I've been seeing for years and he gives homeopathic medications as complementary therapies to the ones my breast surgeon / oncologist and/or plastic surgeon have prescribed for me. For instance, when I was first diagnosed (w early DCIS and some IDC) my breast surgeon put me straight on Tamoxifen (ER+). My naturopath added the powder, in small sachets of Shitake (Lentinula edodes) Black Forest Tree Mushroom or Xiang Gu (Fragrant Mushroom) - these apparently have amazing anti-cancer properties. I checked with my breast surgeon first and she was fine with it (she did say "it's just the powder of mushrooms Nikki"...implying I was probably paying a bit much for these sachets). So I took these with water right up to my mastectomy. Then, my naturopath prescribed homeopathic 'operation drops' which I took every 4 hours post-mastectomy, and have taken again since my DIEP Recon...they help with swelling and bruising.
