I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?

My father was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and had surgery to remove the infected colon and five lymph nodes. The doctor recommended six cycles of chemotherapy, but we're wondering if we can also explore ayurvedic treatments like rasayana chikitsa to help prevent recurrence. Is combining these approaches safe and effective?

Is there any evidence to support that these Ayurvedic med wil work , chemotherapy is based on no of trials throughout the world and it is scientific , dnt be biased take proper treatment that wil give max benefit to the patient.
