The Truth Is Out There... I Hope 
I recently reviewed Prof. Randy Pausch's book, The Last Lecture. While I read the whole book, so far I've only watched the first three minutes of his YouTube lecture. He was an engaging and entertaining speaker for those three minutes, and I plan to watch the film in its entirety soon. I was somewhat saddened when he advised the audience not to foist herbs and other "quack" remedies upon him. By then he had already undergone surgery and chemotherapy and his prognosis was dire. This particular book and any other "alternative" remedy applied after that lecture would have more than likely been futile. Prof. Pausch was arguably a far more intelligent man than myself; but let me ask you a question. If orthodox medical science offered you no more than a 4% chance to survive the particular cancer that claimed the good Professor, would you still swing for the bleachers with all that orthodox medicine has to offer? When a person who eschews traditional medicine passes away from cancer after their alternative medicine failed, they are referred to as victims of quacks. When people who pass away from cancer underwent traditional medicine, they have simply lost their brave battle. When Michael Landon passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1991; I thought, "what chance do the rest of us have?"
I am sure that there are many cancer dialog sites out there with many recommendations. Perhaps some of them suggest that: 1) piercing (biopsy) a tumor might help to spread it, 2) squeezing (mammogram) a tumor might help to spread it, 3) by accident or by no way to avoid it cutting into a tumor (surgery) might help to spread it, 4) chemotherapy is toxic enough to compromise your immune system. So the question then becomes, can alternative remedies be of service to someone who undergoes a treatment that degrades their immune system or has allowed an encapsulated tumor to escape through the lymph system? If this topic is of the utmost importance to you and you are exploring your options, I honestly wish you nothing but the best. If you haven't read How to Fight Cancer & Win, this book is a good start. Consider reading The Jason Winters Story. Research ultraviolet light therapy and hydrogen peroxide therapy. I won't and can't say how any alternative therapy will work compared to traditional medicine, but do consider what active role you can play in your own health structure. I guess what bothers me is that books and other information such as that contained in Fight Cancer are regarded as dangerous quackery while big pharmacy and medicine quash both legitimate exploration/discussion and quite possibly cheap therapies while maintaining a batting average no better than (and maybe much worse than) those very alternatives.
8/28/08 update: Although the following alternative therapy was not mentioned in the Fight Cancer book, I just came across it, and it is worth mentioning here. See what you can find out about Aglycon Sapogenin (AGS) and Dammarane Sapogenin. The word is that these components starve out some types of cancer tumors including pancreatic cancer. Since its' discovery is relatively new, I haven't heard much about it myself.

A must-have resource
If you or someone you care about is diagnosed...or if you have a family history of cancer - GET THIS BOOK. I got a copy for all my sisters as it was a godsend for us while my Dad fought Lymphoma. There is so much information in these pages that it should be one of the cancer oriented books you buy...actually this should be the FIRST cancer oriented book you buy.

Not that useful 
How to Fight Cancer & Win
Nice stories, some good recipes.
Not useful for non-small cancer.
I could have spent my time better than reading this book.

hope
When the opinions of doctors and the recommended course of action point to a bleak prognosis, this book offers some hope for a better outcome.
Not to say that one should disregard the doctor's recommendation, this book offers some alternative supplementary approaches which are healthy and can do nothing but raise one's spirits. I really recommend it.

A comprehensive list of all alternative and orthodox treatments for cancer
Having been recently diagnosed with colon cancer (removed by operation) and liver cancer (secondary) I needed to know some answers regarding future treatments. Having heard and seen the results of the 'orthodox' route I wanted none of that! This book informed me of all of the alternatives on offer and covered each protocol very thoroughly. I highly recommend this book to every cancer sufferer. You will not be disappointed. Incidentally I chose the Budwig route.
