Ex-Bodybuilder Chooses Water Fasting Over Chemo
Sarah Ford, 42, a former bodybuilding champion from Essex, has opted for a £12,000 water fasting course at True North Health Centre instead of continuing chemotherapy.
Sarah was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma after experiencing hip pain and breathlessness during her honeymoon in Turkey. A CT scan revealed an 11cm by 5cm mass in her chest.
After undergoing 13 rounds of chemotherapy, which caused hair loss, Sarah was told her cancer was in remission on New Year's Eve. She said:
"It finally felt like we had been given a break from relentless chemo when I was told I was in remission. I was hoping to get back on the bodybuilding stage, get back to my job as a paramedic, and have another child."
