Homeopath 's  Response
You can opt for Homoeopathic mode of management.As Homoeopathy is side effectless and very mild to act in oncological cases where immunity gets very heavily deranged.Homoeopathy treatment needs a thorough Case taking to select proper Medicine which needs thorough detailed Case history and reports.
