The gut constitutes about 70% of your immune system. I don't have cancer (though, as noted in a different comment of mine here, many of my relatives have had cancer) but I do have a genetic disorder that significantly impacts gut function. I have done a lot of reading and self-experimentation in this area. I also have a relative who was Patient Zero in a cancer study and another relative who was interviewed on tape for two hours by a doctor and whose views and practices changed the way two different cancer clinics dealt with certain issues for their patients.

The path forward here is to come to a completely different understanding of the problem space. Allopathic meds have their uses, but it comes at a known high cost. This is why medications routinely have a long fold-out of warnings, provisos and explanations of the side effects.

We know that chemo can permanently impair brain function as well. We know that it does all kinds of bad things to the body. We also know that overuse of antibiotics both harms the gut function and promotes antibiotic resistant infections.

I think a first step in the right direction would be for conventional medicine to counteract the drug side effects after therapy is done. I have never had a doctor tell me that I should consume yogurt after being on antibiotics, though that is common knowledge in some circles. We just issue drugs and even when the side effects are known and some fairly easy counter to the side effects is also pretty well established, few doctors tell their patients "You need to undo the damage the drugs do to you and here is how."

If we at least did that much, we could ameliorate some of this. That approach is totally within reach and essentially ignored.
