• Cured?

  I have thermo scans periodically and my blood continues to be tested at 6 monthly intervals. The trend has continued towards the normal pattern.

• Being in Control

  All in all I much preferred being in control of all my treatment rather than being helpless and reliant on doctors to reassure me about what was going on. I remember that when my daughter Emma was in hospital, she had a similar experience. Nurses and Read More...

• Becoming a Practitioner

  My decision to become a nutritionist was directly related to my own experiences using nutrition to cure my breast cancer. The dietary changes I made following my diagnosis arguably saved my life, and my decision not to have surgery was perhaps the most Read More...

• 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. It was a very stressful time as most moves are, especially as we had booked up a holiday to go away for Christmas Read More...

• Creating Healthy Habits

  In July 2005 I went for another scan. I was advised to stop wearing under-wired bras as it was blocking the flow of lymph fluid, by “hot-spots” around the underarm area and under breast area – which showed up clearly on the scans. Soft Read More... Posted 27 November 2007 10:35 by Sue Insole | 2 Comments Filed under: cancer treatment, sue insole, cancer diary, diet

• The Obstacles to Eating Healthily

  I carried on with the diet and supplements. When I had been away at Christmas I ate really well and found that I could still enjoy a lot of good food without feeling that I was “depriving” myself of anything. 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

  The new health regime I had introduced to beat my breast cancer had two particularly noticeable effects. My reaction to B17 I was taking large doses of B17 in the form of up to 50 kernels a day plus two tablets twice a day. The nutritionist was surprised Read More...

• Why I Was Right to Refuse Surgery

  The results of the blood tests gave me even more conviction that surgery was the wrong route. When doctors take a tumour away, they cannot take the cancer away completely as it is not a local disease but a symptom of a disease. If cancer is a rogue healing Read More...

• How I Learned About Alternative Cancer Treatments

  After a bit of searching on some Internet sites, I found the article about apricot kernels that I vaguely remembered from before. I read avidly, and needed to find out more. I sent for books, and that weekend I started to chew apple pips (which contain Read More...

• What the Doctor Said

  When my appointment with the consultant came around, I went with much trepidation, but at the same time was anxious to get it over with so I could know the worst. My worst fears were confirmed when the consultant explained that because they had found Read More...

• The Letter Every Woman Dreads

  I will never forget the day I received the letter that every woman who has been for a routine mammogram dreads. I was called back to undergo a further scan as they found something that looked suspicious. I had noticed that my left nipple was starting Read More...
