need for guidance

hi , my mother is 53 yrs old ....she has been diagnosed with cancer of stage 3b. it was in her ovaries and had gone to the omentum. she went through the surgery who removed the uterus , the ovaries , the masses along the ovaries , and partial omentum .Befoe the surgery the gynae had informed about the possibility of cancer , but it was just a possiblity as both ca125 and cea tests were negative. after meeting the oncologst , we're suggested by them that one more surgery has to be done ,to remove the full omentum ,lymph nodes followed by 6 chemo's . Meanwhile , there's cancerhistory in our family and chemo's has proved to be fatal .on the other hand , their is Ayurveda treatments which claim to cure the same without surgery or chemo's. we need urgent direction , and precautions , and guidane for the same ..
thank you

I think it is important for your mom to go ahead with the second surgery to remove the entire omentum and lymph nodes......it's imperative she have the surgery be done by a gyn/oncologist.  That gives her a chance to be staged properly and have a clean shot at beating this.  
At that point, she can decide what she wants to do.....the usual chemo or Ayurveda.....or, perhaps both!

Peace.

Sorry for your mom's diagnosis.  
I would be skeptical of any treatment which offers a cure for stage 3 ovarian cancer.  In my opinion, it would be best for her to go the surgical/chemo route and try for a long remission.
