In this episode, Charlie is joined by Lucy, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer and told she had just 5 months to live.
After the initial shock and not to be disheartened, she started to do her own research in an attempt to overcome her prognosis. Reading up on all the alternative medicines, self-healing techniques and practices out there she came across dentritic cell therapy. A novel treatment strategy to generate tumor-specific immunity in patients with advanced cancer.
Embarking on an intense cycle of chemotherapy, she also began the dentritic cell therapy as part of her programme. Fast forward three years and she now finds herself in remission, living a fulfilled life in Portugal.
As well as continuing to put in to practice everything she learnt during this very challenging period, she now has set her heart on bringing to life her own retreat to help others on their respective cancer journeys.
I was blown away by Lucy's courage and determination during what must have been a very daunting and scary time, as well as fascinated by how the body and mind has the ability to heal.
Join us and be as inspired by Lucy's story.
