I could use some cancer survival tips
I also need to generally introduce myself to the cancer recovery community.
I have a best friend who is a high quality human who is directly involved in the challenge.
Diagnosis is mid-way but some spreading has occured. Enough to engage emergency radiation therapy, so pretty serious. Smoking is involved, so I'm also interested in addiction recovery, advice.
I'm looking at this crisis contingently. This could be end up being more of a spiritual transition question. However, it may also be a question of healing and physical adaption. I want to be there in my best way whatever the journey.
I'm interested in best science and wholistic-kitchen-sink approaches. Both the most promising evidence and combinations of everything that shows promise of being complimentary. No edge is irrevelant. I'm seeking an army of all the good ideas.

No real advice, but as a survivor myself your friend is very lucky to have you! Wishing your friend all the best.

What @Bow said.
Having been a survivor and then losing a friend last year, being a mate is in itself huge. You'll likely have to roll with the punches mostly.
Wishing you all the best!

Re: I could use some cancer survival tips
Since you mentioned that this may be a spiritual journey, Why not start there? What do you think would work to give you a spiritual uplift during this time?

Re: I could use some cancer survival tips
I just remembered! Giving blood is a great way to help too. Even if not directly helping your friend, it is invaluable for many cancer patients (myself included).
That is assuming you can give blood (I can't), but if you can, I strongly recommend it.
