It was obvious from the Internet that people in America treat many different types of cancer with a non-carcinogenic, organic diet and vitamins and minerals, plus other natural plant extracts. I then decided to seek another opinion from Dr Jean Monro, who runs her own Allergy & Environmental Medicine Hospital in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire (01442 261 333), as I had known her for many years, and felt I could rely on her implicitly. She confirmed that I had Paget's disease of the nipple, which could produce multiple tumours overnight, and which could spread rapidly. Together, we designed a programme of treatment, including vitamins A, C, E, all the Bs, magnesium, betaine, folic acid, linseed oil capsules and other items, some of which were taken intravenously.

I attended the hospital each day as an outpatient. I started my treatment programme in mid-November 1998 and, within a fortnight, I felt 20 years younger. On 1 February 1999, my blood test results were normal; the cancer had regressed and was not now apparent. My intravenous injections were gradually reduced one by one, and I have now ceased my hospital treatment.

My oral supplements, which I take at home, include vitamins and minerals, plus other supplements and natural plant extracts. I also take Jason Winter's tea, and Essiac.

I now anticipate being alive to see my grandchildren grow up and would advise anyone in a similar position to seek a second or even a third opinion, until they are satisfied that the information they are given is correct.

I was convinced that there had to be an alternative to surgery and chemotherapy. I hope this gives people hope, and the chance to say 'If she can do it, why can't I?' Take control of your life, and help your body to heal itself. - HE, West Ashling, West Sussex
