In this interview on the Integrative Cancer Solutions podcast, Denise Stevenson shares her transformative journey following a breast cancer diagnosis at age 50. Initially dismissing some health signs, she eventually visited her doctor upon returning to France from the UK, which led to a diagnosis of breast cancer. Faced with a daunting treatment plan that included a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, Denise explored integrative approaches alongside conventional treatments. She fasted during chemotherapy, changed her diet, exercised, and utilized various supplements and essential oils. Astonishingly, within 11 weeks, her tumor had disappeared. She later opted for a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy, and has remained cancer-free for six years.

Denise emphasizes the importance of integrative cancer care, combining traditional medical treatments with holistic approaches to support the body and mind. She highlights the psychological impact of cancer treatment and the lack of personal understanding she felt from her medical team. Inspired by her experience and the support she received from various resources, Denise created a website to share information and provide hope to others facing similar diagnoses. Driven by her successful outcome and the desire to support others, Denise created a comprehensive website offering resources on cancer and other health conditions. The site includes medical research, testimonials, nutrition advice, and mental health support, aiming to provide hope and prevent diseases through lifestyle changes. Her story underscores the significance of patient advocacy and the need for a more compassionate, integrative approach to cancer treatment, blending conventional medicine with lifestyle changes and natural therapies to improve outcomes and quality of life. Denise's story highlights the psychological and emotional toll of her experience, exacerbated by the perceived lack of empathy and rigid protocols in the French healthcare system.

Denise underscores the importance of addressing the whole person, not just the disease, advocating for integrative healthcare approaches that consider patients' mental and emotional well-being.
