• My Healthy Life

  We had put our house on the market earlier in the year and at the end of November 2005 we sold up in Cardiff and moved 45 miles away to Swansea.

However, having to watch what Read More... Posted 15 November 2007 17:26 by Sue Insole | 14 Comments Filed under: cancer treatment, sue insole, cancer diary, cancer, diet

• Further Digestion Problems

  In September 2004 I visited my GP as I was suffering from bouts of diarrhoea and was worried that I was not absorbing my supplements enough.

• How My Health Regime Affected Me

• Why I Was Right to Refuse Surgery

  The results of the blood tests gave me even more conviction that surgery was the wrong route.

• My Cancer-Beating Diet

  The blood tests I was told to have every six months to monitor my progress measured two main things, or tumour markers: 1. The level of telomerase. Telomerase is an enzyme that helps a cell to self-replicate. If an increased number of cells have active Read More...

• What the Nutritionist Told Me

  In July 2004 I went to see a nutritionist who had once been a medical doctor. I had found her name on the Internet, and made an appointment to visit her practice in Bristol. We talked about the possible treatments, and took a blood test. She asked me Read More... Posted 08 October 2007 10:40 by Sue Insole | 4 Comments Filed under: cancer diary, nutrition, cancer

• My Decision

  Of all the advice I received at this time, I specifically remember something one lady said to me that really hit a nerve. “They don’t know what they are messing about with,” she said. “They should sometimes just leave things alone, Read More...

• Cancer in the Family

  On the way back home from the clinic my husband and I were in turmoil, and all the time the whole implication of this was going through my head – but at the same time everything seemed so unreal. We ended up going for a drink and getting quite drunk, Read More... Posted 17 September 2007 11:09 by Sue Insole | 8 Comments Filed under: cancer treatment, cancer diary, cancer
