she's only 35 years old. at this point, it's inoperable, so they're beginning chemo on her tomorrow.
has anyone heard of a promising alternative treatment?

I'm very sorry to hear about that Christine. It may sound nihilistic, but your friend should forego chemo and arrange for palliative care for when the disease becomes too unmanageable at home. This disease does not have a good prognosis, no matter what, so why not spend his/her remaining time with friends and family, rather than be ill with chemo or radiation just so the docs can say, "we did all we could."
