Herbal remedies for cancer? Mitomycin treatment?

I have been diagnosed with early stage bladder cancer.  As a result of research, I have heard quite a bit about different alternative and integrative treatments for cancer.  Is there anything known or researched in the scientific/medical communities about herbal remedies, such as Essiac teas and capsules, or other treatments?   What are the side effects of mitomycin(not sure if correct spelling) as this has been recommended to me and is to be infused directly into the bladder for six treatments.

Is the tea the same as the capsules, or is it actually a tea in a cup?  I hear about the Essiac tea, but the Canadian site for Essiac sells capsules.  If it is tea in a cup, where do you get yours?  Thanks for your concern and help.

Hi. It's me again. UCLA 's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center is conducting a clinical trial to see if green tea can prevent bladder tumors from recurring. Therefore, drink a lot of green tea or take supplements; it couldn't hurt.

My sister swears by that Essiac tea. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I am trying the tea. It can't hurt but it is expensive.
