I ADMIRE Mrs Wells in the treatment she has chosen for her cancer, I opted for conventional treatment i.e lumpectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But I'm sure that whichever treatment is selected, how one approaches it helps a lot. Like most people faced with this illness, I just read anything and everything I could lay my hands on.

Subsequently, I put myself on a rigid diet i.e dairy free, no red meat or preservatives and virtually no alcohol (I'm still working on that one!), exercise and alternative therapies. And I am very hopeful that as I am nearing the end of my treatment that all will be well, but I will still continue with my diet etc.

We are responsible for our own bodies and hopefully choose the treatment that will succeed.
