The last of six Forty Minutes documentaries, which follow the lives of six cancer sufferers over a period of nine months.
It is spring. Of the six ill people who went to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre in July, five are still alive. Three of the patients not only feel better, they've noticed a character change that has made their lives joyful and fulfilled. One patient says that cancer is the best thing that could have happened to her. Is this simply the placebo effect? The causal connection between their physical state and the therapy cannot be proved. But more and more doctors are keeping an open mind on the value of the ' gentle way '.
