Angie Best Says She 'Can't Function' After First Chemotherapy in Switzerland

She is undergoing chemotherapy in Switzerland with adjunct mistletoe treatment that major UK cancer bodies do not endorse as standard.

Overview

  • Best, 73, posted a video on Tuesday after her initial chemotherapy round saying she cannot lift her head, brush her teeth or eat.
  • She is being treated in Switzerland, including time in Zurich, with her son Calum Best supporting her there.
  • Her diagnosis is colon cancer that has spread to her liver, disclosed publicly earlier this month.
  • Best is receiving mistletoe therapy alongside chemotherapy, which is not an NHS standard due to inconclusive evidence cited by UK cancer organisations.
  • Calum Best told Good Morning Britain the cancer was found "quite late" after a homeopath initially misdiagnosed her symptoms, and he has launched a GoFundMe for specialist care.
