A mother who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer after giving birth to her child has resorted to costly alternative therapies to try and beat it.
Melbourne mum Rachel Dur has just months left to live after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021.
Ms Dur has exhausted conventional treatment and resorted to spending $500,000 on alternative treatments like high-dose vitamin and turmeric infusions.
Hyperbaric chambers, hyperthermia treatment and immunotherapy are among the treatments she has trialled with signs the growth of her cancer is slowing.
The desperate act comes after Ms Dur was initially misdiagnosed by doctors at a US hospital.
Ms Dur had moved to Silicon Valley in California, in the US, to work as an investment director in 2019, Herald Sun reported.
