Although people with cancer are looking for the best way to cure their illness (I know not only as a physician but someone who's gone through this), conventional allopathic medicine has yet to have a significant mode of therapy that is peer reviewed an superior to it. Believe me when I tell you, cancer patients deserve to be seen by a medical physician before even entertaining the notion of alternative therapy. If there's nothing that conventional medicine can provide, then use your judgement as to what you feel is appropriate, but as a physician, I'd never begin with an alternative when there are sound medical/surgical interventions for treatment of any number of malignancies.

I'd also caution you against using movies to persuade you in making serious medical decisions. Oncologists are very highly trained clinicians who have dedicated their careers to the treatment of patients with cancer.
