When cervical cancer struck in 1994, I was drowning in medical jargon and overwhelmed by a system that felt rigid and impersonal. After losing my mother in 1996, I realised the standard script wasn't enough—I had to take control of my own journey.

In this episode, I share my 30-year story of battling cancer, from the devastating diagnosis that stole my fertility dreams to finding remission through a combination of conventional treatments and repurposed drugs like metformin and statins. I'll explain why most oncologists don't know about these affordable, effective options and how I worked with open-minded doctors who were willing to think beyond the guidelines.

You'll learn about the "metro map" approach I developed, the importance of metabolic therapies and why emotional support should be as vital as chemotherapy. Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or simply want to understand how to advocate within the medical system, this episode offers hope and practical strategies for taking charge of your health journey.
