I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Dec 2011. Following an operation to remove part of my colon, chemotherapy commenced. I had a very bad reaction to the initial dose so treatment was reduced by 50% and slower infusion recommended. After the 4th course of chemo, treatment was cancelled due to my intolerance to it. I was concerned that the amount of chemo that I had taken during that time may not have been entirely adequate.

My name is Wendy and I am 61 years young. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2014. However, I knew intuitively that I had cancer six months previously after discovering a lump in my breast. I took this time to consider the way forward and address lifestyle changes particularly diet. I had had very negative experiences of conventional medicine - in particular oncology. When breast cancer was confirmed (HER2+, oestrogen+ with lymph node involvement) I was shocked by the severity of my condition but politely declined the only choices made available to me at that time - viz. mastectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I wanted a therapy which would stimulate my immune system into recognising aberrant cells. Wellbeing and not years of chronic illness were my priorities. And so a serendipitous journey began ....
I first became aware of Mistletoe Therapy through meeting a "friend of a friend" who mentioned it in passing conversation. A while later I came across the therapy again whilst I was attending a Cancer Mavericks workshop held in Mirfield, Yorkshire in February 2015. Back home, another chance recommendation brought mistletoe into focus yet again. Taking this as a sign I asked my GP to refer me to Camphill Wellbeing Trust (CWT) and so an appointment was made with Dr Stefan Geider.
