The husband of a mum who died from cancer after rejecting NHS treatment has been left bankrupt by their fight against the disease.
Katie Britton-Jordan and her partner, Neil, 55, spent around £70,000 on a range of alternative treatments, including dendritic cell therapy in Mexico.
And Mr Jordan, from Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire, has now admitted that he now depends on benefits to raise their five-year-old daughter Delilah, and to care for his elderly father.

Mrs Britton-Jordan, who died on May 25, aged 40, chose not to go through conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the NHS when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in June 2016.
Instead, she cut out meat and dairy from her diet, ate only organic foods and took supplements, all of which was already taking a toll on the family's bills.
Despite having a mastectomy, by Christmas 2018, the cancer had spread to Mrs Britton-Jordan's lymph nodes, liver, lungs and bones and she was in a great deal of discomfort.

Her decision to defy conventional medical wisdom attracted international media interest.
But in his first interview since the death of his beloved wife, Mr Jordan has revealed how he now depends on benefits to raise Delilah, and to care for his elderly father.
Describing the day his wife died, Mr Jordan said: 'When she passed away all the family was around.
'I went outside with Delilah and we picked a load of flowers from the garden and we just placed them all around Mummy.
'She looked so beautiful and peaceful. She even had a little wry smile on her face.'

Mr Jordan kept his wife at home for three days after her death, and allowed his daughter to see her when she wanted.
Mr Jordan said: 'She had been in to see Mummy a few times, to give Mummy another kiss.
'At one time she was running around with bubble guns and playing. You could hear laughter. It was just lovely to see her accepting what had happened and getting on with life.
'She wanted to know why mum couldn't be kept by the bed forever. That was a really difficult question that I couldn't answer. We both had a cuddle and a cry.'

The couple met via a stroke of luck, in 2000, when Mr Jordan agreed to go on a wellness weekend only on the condition that his horse won at the races.
The then 35-year-old ended up pocketing a massive £1,400 win from his £20 bet and so went along to the event in Glastonbury - where he met then 21-year-old Katie, then a fashion student at the University of Derby.
They fell in love, started jewellery business Flash Jordan together, and married in Dalbury Lees in 2010.
Their first baby, Tilly Rose, was stillborn in 2011.
Two years later Mrs Britton-Jordan gave birth to Delilah.
