Description

In 1988 Bernadette Bohan won a battle against cancer. But when she became pregnant seven years later, a doctor told her that it was likely to trigger a return of the disease. She didn t hesitate and gave birth to the child she had longed for.

However, her fight wasn t over. Five years later the cancer attacked her body again.

Bernadette made another choice. In desperation, she decided that her best chance of survival was not simply to be a passive patient and follow blindly her doctor s advice, but to create her own alternative prescription.

When news of Bernadette s triumph over cancer brought others flocking to her door seeking help, this ordinary Irish wife and mother found her life transformed. And she realised that her illness was a gift after all.
