Leah Bracknell begins new experimental treatment to slow down terminal cancer

Leah Bracknell has started a new treatment as part of her clinical trial to slow the progression of cancer that she has been fighting for over two years.

Ex-star Emmerdale, who was playing Zoe Tate in the soap opera ITV, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2016 and was informed that she was in phase terminated by the doctors who treated her.

Since then, the actress turned yoga teacher has embarked on the fight against cancer, using positive thinking, meditation and nourishing foods in addition to the medical treatment that she receives.

Leah was admitted to a clinical trial last summer and found that the first stage had stabilized what should have been aggressive cancer progression.

She revealed two weeks ago that she was back in the hospital for the next stage of the trial, sharing a photo of the latex puppets made by her nurses to comfort her before her shots.

"A Spring Equinox Bunny !!!? (It's becoming a bit of a competition between the nurses at trial!), Ie a latex glove filled with ice for numbness before numbness, "she wrote next to Instagram.

"Thanks C, it's up to beat !!"

In February, Leah had written on her blog Something Beginning With C that she was "fed up" with being sick and dependent on her husband Jez Hughes.

"Living with stage four cancer is not black and white, we can not always be a noble and exceptional patient, no more than we do not pity ourselves and do not complain to ourselves", has She writes after weeks of admission to the hospital for various infections.

"It took longer than I would have liked to get my strength back, which frustrates me in a crazy way.Life is short and precious and I want to be operational as soon as possible without having to drag all the weak and the weak. "

Leah said that she was fed up with seeing "worry, fear, exhaustion and helplessness" in her partner's eyes while she "was having it." Used to see partnership and mutuality ".

The mother of two also blew up meals at the NHS hospital, asking on her blog why such "glittering and unidentifiable substances" were being served to sick patients.

"Why, why is food served to people when they are physically most vulnerable of the lowest quality possible?" she wrote.

"They can try to deceive you and seduce you with shiny rolled menus, meticulously describing the meals to tickle your palate and put your mouth watering, but the reality is a huge and unhealthy disappointment."

Previously, Leah had revealed how she turned to cannabis oil to treat her pain and the side effects of chemotherapy.

She makes "THC-rich" oil at home and credits her with the extension of her life.

"I do not think I would be here without it," she said in October 2018.
