Hi Mr. lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help for your mother. Given to understand that it is now a metastatic breast cancer, the choice of treatment going forward depends on its hormone receptor positivity status and also the associated complications, if any. You can always take a second opinion from yet another expert breast oncologist on the conventional approach to be taken now on. Simultaneously, a naturopathic integrative treatment with suitable complementary & alternative medicines can help improve clinical endpoints too, as would be contextually possible. You can connect with details/ diagnostics for further integrative traction as would be relevant to her case. Please be informed that there is always a risk of adverse event/ reactions in case you do not consult a doctor or practitioner who clearly understands the requirements for a favorable naturopathic integration. Hope this helps. Do take care, and all the very best. Sincerely,

It is unfortunate for her to have such a bad recurrence. Follow advise of your medical oncologist and hope for the best. You can try any kind of ancillary treatment as per your belief but that doesn't help too much.
