Female
Explains why she rejected alternative therapies in favour of conventional medicine.

 



Other people have kind of suggested that I investigate alternative therapies and things, and I know that I could. There's this book here, is it 'My Journey' by Brandon Bays. She rejects all treatment and decides to get rid of her own tumour by positive mental attitude and raw food and, and she does it, you know, and fantastic, good for her. I just am not that person, I can't do that. I couldn't not go down the chemotherapy route, I just couldn't do it to my family really, because I know it's the medical model, but I actually believe that it's the only, it's the only way that I can go.
