The big C is a signal that there is something wrong with one's life: your feelings about yourself, your relations with others, a polluted environment, lack of exercise or poor diet. Almost all of these factors can be changed through personal effort.

My wife is a highly experienced nurse: we know that the big C is reversible. Rather than wishing for an external cure, you and your friends should educate yourselves, avoid most doctors (many of whom view C as a source of profit), look inward and try to change your lives.
