I do know people who benefit by not using Big Pharma or Big Medicine and healed. In my circumstance I chose no biopsy, and no surgery, and no chemical therapy for a tumor on my Pancreatic tail which my East West doctor discovered after he discovered my diabetes and Kidney Stones. I am ten years out today from this diagnosis.

Good choice. All three "standard of care" "treatment" modalities damage or destroy the immune system (surgery/chemo/radiation).

And ONLY the immune system can eliminate cancer!

I love it when they "discover" something that you do not have...

Biopsy is mostly good for selling your tissues or spreading the disease, if you really have it. Not feeding the cancer by avoiding carbohydrates and eating very little to let the body heal itself are free and they seem to be the most effective approaches. Chemo is mostly murder, not "therapy." Most oncologists would avoid it, if it were offered to them or to their family members. Avoiding toxic exposure also increases chances of survival.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the fastest (only a few weeks) to kill you, so I'm not sure what you had. Kidney stones are harder to misdiagnose, but one must never underestimate the reliability of technology... I suppose, your kidney stones were removed and after the kidney functions were normalized, you recovered.

As for me, I am not interested in any "medical" diagnosis. Seen too many of them...

Defined by imaging obviously. A 1.5 centimeter pancreatic mass on the tail of the Pancreas. My doctors suggested rapid action due to rare discovery so early and I for my part thinking why if cancerous am I not deceased. So every few years I have CT scan and unchanged.

I am not into the health care racket. Here in San Francisco enough of a non traditional health community exists to access. To pay the cost, not so easy. I would be very interested from a whole health view in live blood analysis. To have this done in Bay Area, even down to Santa Cruz is not cheap.

A mass can be a number of things, but more often than not, it's a cyst (encapsulated, probably toxic, material, mostly liquid) that poses no imminent danger. Also, it doesn't change over time. If it had been cancer, you wouldn't be around. The annual CT only adds to your radiation exposure. Pancreatic cancer is usually inoperable, anyway. Blood analysis is subjective; it is an indicator of certain conditions, but "doctors" usually have next to no idea of the causes, so they jump on "treating" the symptoms. In my understanding, the symptoms are usually due to the body trying to heal itself from something that is not in the "diagnosis."

Yeah we went over that. Language and image. The diagnosis was based on image, location, the endocrine system disorders, and prior art. I went to another hospital not run by Jesuits, Kaiser, and they repeated the process and wanted me to get cut. Agreeably I discuss with my new surgeon my thought and she agreed for me a bad choice. CT scan every 3 years or so. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NfJ_3R8Yw

Eventually, it's always your decision. First thing they do is make you sign a consent form... They take NO responsibility.
