Why does my father need chemotherapy "indefinitely" and what does this mean?
Most likely the doctors are suggesting chemotherapy indefinitely because it seems to be keeping the cancer from growing, but is not making it shrink. I would guess they are worried that if they stopped the chemotherapy for more than a short while (chemo holiday), it would allow the cancer to grow and possibly spread. So the plan is probably to continue as long as the chemo is holding the cancer in check.
Has anyone tried using naturopathic treatment for prostate cancer, or any cancer for that matter? If you have, what were the results? Just wondering if there might be an alternative solution to chemo, radiation, and surgery.

We just started going to Reiki, and some other natural therapies but it is along with traditional medicine, and chemo.
