I stumbled across this on Facebook tonight and was shocked "What kind of doctor would tell a woman not to treat her breast cancer?" And I got my answer... An Anti-vaccine Chiropractor. Deluded or a sociopath?pic.twitter.com/6DsqOToFq5

For some cancers (e.g. a slow-growing prostate tumour), a cautious "wait & see" approach may be justified. But that is a discussion to be had with an oncologist. Not some random anti-vax not-a-doctor chiroquack you found via the intertubes.
Yes, but that doesn't mean the cancer will resolve, only that it might not progress or that it will grow so slowly that it will never endanger the patient's life in during the years left to her.
Do cancers ever spontaneously resolve? If they do, what is the possibility that, like Paul Offit's metastatic malignant melanoma, the original diagnosis was incorrect?
Yes, but it's very uncommon.
