Abstract
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 1993 while suffering from extreme Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). After reviewing my treatment options I decided against chemotherapy. My treatment plan involved making dietary changes and eating only organic. But even then I felt that it would be important to incorporate daily physical activity, and continue my usual course of enjoying the small things in life. I founded a cancer advocacy nonprofit Annie Appleseed Project which went online in June 1999. I was also running an educational program called Whole Health in which (mostly) women with cancer discussed options. We discovered early on that the things I did to keep myself well, worked to help those using conventional therapies, well too. We discovered Integrative Oncology. T he main focus was the use of nutrition as a base for better health.
