Diagnosed May 2016 with stage 4...no chemo or radiation for me!

After, having lump by my armpit breast area for years and doctors saying it was hormonal from my cycle others said it was from caffeine!Started Harvoni for my hep c and the lump I had for years started moving and hurting! Showed my doctor and sent me to other specialist.... and then my nightmare started!My choice to do all natural and praising God has me still here but hurting!! Open wound from biopsy done in May 2016 is shrinking but leaking a non smelly liquid any ideas of what it is? Tumor twists, turns and feels like it's on fire but this liquid can't figure out!! Please advise and don't criticise my choice for living or dieing the way I choose! Chemo and radiation helps some but just not for me!What I am doing is working just not mainstream yet!!

Mainstream cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can be unpleasant, but they have been scientifically tested and proven to work for treating cancer. Even though the side effects of mainstream cancer treatment can be serious, these treatments help you fight a life-threatening disease. Patients with cancer who choose alternative medicine instead of mainstream cancer treatments may be putting themselves at serious risk. Delays or interruptions in standard treatment can give the cancer more time to grow. Even early stage cancers can become impossible to treat successfully if effective treatment is delayed long enough. And even when cancer reaches a stage where cure is not possible, it is important to remember that mainstream care can still offer a lot in the way of cancer control and comfort.

Hi there, I just read your post. I'm just curious about your current situation.  How are you doing these days? Are you still going through breast cancer treatments?  How did you cope up with the pain of side effects after treatment?
