I love herbs and spices and have a drawer-full and garden full of them! They add an endless variety of aromas and tastes to very simply prepared foods. All of them have medicinal properties as well. Perhaps the most well-known are ginger and turmeric, as anti-inflammatory. Chamomile is an aid for insomnia and nervousness, cramps, dizziness, and is a soothing wash for sore eyes. Echinacea is a blood cleanser, useful for snake and spider bites, as well as boosting the immune system. Fennel is useful for coughs and indigestion. There are many herb books that explain the medicinal properties of thousands of herbs. My favorite herb book is Natural Healing with Herbs by Humbart Santilllo. An herb book specific to my part of the country is Herbal Medicine of the American Southwest by Charles W. Kane.

As far as preventing cancer from recurring, a diet that is as close to nature as possible, with few, if any, highly processed foods (white sugar, white flour, salt, some dairy, and the foods made from these), is going to support our good health. Using a variety of fresh and dried herbs and spices also contributes to our overall health and well-being.
