W.T.
There are other options besides western medicine. I did the same as your friend and when all of my options had been exhausted short of a hysterectomy.
I worked with a midwife who did accupuncture and chinese herbs. This is a viable option for women who have been down the MD path. There are other options such as diet, but a good herbalist or naturopath would steer your friend in the right direction.
I certainly think it is worth pursuing since she seems to need some support that maybe her ob/gyn can't give.
I wish her luck.
