I thought you might find the following article from snopes.com interesting: http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/cancerupdate.asp
I urge you to read the information posted there, but I am retyping part of the article here: "The Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has published a detailed rebuttal of the "Cancer Update" email, noting that: The gist of this viral email is that cancer therapies of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy do not work against the disease and people should instead choose a variety of dietary strategies. Traditional therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, work. The evidence is the millions of cancer survivors in the United States today who are alive because of these therapies. We recognize that treatments don't work in every patient, or sometimes work for awhile and then stop working, and there are some cancers that are more difficult to cure than others. These problems are the focus of ongoing cancer research." Please be sure to send this posting to anyone who received your earlier email.
