Help Artur Dabrowski fight Glioblastoma

Artur is an amazing dance teacher and person. He has changed many people’s lives. In March this year his life changed. He was diagnosed with type 4 glioblastoma – a very aggressive brain cancer, growing so rapidly that urgent surgery was needed to save his life. But he is not out of the woods – this cancer always comes back, and quickly despite radiotherapy and chemotherapy

Things looked hopeless. But then we discovered a new cancer vaccine. Regulatory standard clinical trials have shown that not only does it have significant benefit over standard care alone, but we’re seeing some longterm survivors – people who started the vaccine 10, 15 and now 20 yrs ago who are still alive and leading meaningful lives. This is unheard of with type 4 glioblastoma. Of course there are no guarantees with such a serious illness, but there is genuine hope and this is why we’re desperately raising the funds to pay for this. It’s a race against time.

We’re holding an auction this evening to raise funds. Thanks to some amazingly generous donations we have some fabulous items – holidays, jewellery, custom built web packages, meals at top restaurants, days out and dance dresses. Both online and live bidding is available. Please check out the website now, www.helpartur.com view the auction items, and start bidding – treat yourself and help save Artur. Thank you

Great App For People Going Through Breast Cancer

I love the O-Wise App and Blog When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, or any cancer, you’re in a state of shock, and a simple app which takes the thinking out of things is so helpful. This app does many things all in one place – treatment plan, symptom records, and so much more – even recording those all important hospital consultations, so you can check what was said afterwards when your mind has gone blank (trust me – it does). I love the blogs too – such clear practical advice and information on really useful topics associated with your new life as a breast cancer patient. I’m also thrilled that O-Wise have quoted from my book From Both Ends of The Stethoscope – Getting Through Breast Cancer By A Doctor Who Knows

Probiotics So Important For Healthy Diet

Our gut microbes (bacteria, viruses etc) influence our health, weight, immunity and susceptibility to many diseases. They are far more important to us than we had realised. Therefore it is important to nourish the good microbes and starve the bad ones. I’ve just reviewed a product which I really like – Yaconviva Cacao nibs sweetened with yacón – learn about yacón and how it can help good microbes populate our gut
