  • “I was very inspired by Hanne Kjær Uhlig’s feature in Berlingske in December 2025 and, in this context, I came across “jegharkraeft.dk“.

    The article in Berlingske was a huge eye-opener for me! Of course, I need to engage much more in the fight. The website “jegharkraeft.dk” has gathered a lot of knowledge in the field and provides an impressive overview of many aspects within the alternative perspective.

    Personally, with my background in chemistry, I have used the site to get an overview of which dietary supplements and repurposed drugs work where on the cancer. My first thought was that I would block the cancer with diet/supplements, but I ended up following the COC protocol + KETO diet.

    It is a tough adjustment to follow the COC protocol and simultaneously be on KETO. But I have a surprisingly “great feeling” about making this choice. Now it’s ME setting the agenda against cancer, and it’s going to get a fight to the finish, even though it is currently in remission with a PSA of 0.1. I feel good about being able to say, “I gave it my all” – the outcome is not in my hands, but I set the battlefield!!

    I hope this can inspire some of you to consider whether you, too, are doing everything possible under your given circumstances. I can only say: it was not the medical world that opened my eyes to choosing the battlefield myself. That credit goes to Hanne Uhlig’s feature in Berlingske and the website “jegharkraeft.dk“, and I am eternally grateful for this.”

  • “When I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer with Lynch syndrome, my approach was to use not only the medical expertise from the oncologists but also to spend some time researching what might be relevant for me. This included looking into alternative methods to maintain as normal a daily life as possible. I come from a medical family, so all options have been discussed, including when it comes to alternative medicine and dietary supplements, etc.

    I have used the website to give me peace of mind and some hope in a hopeless time filled with uncertainty.

    I have always been aware that the information on the website is not “the truth” and that you should not blindly trust it. But it provides an opportunity to discuss your options with your oncologist. I have been very fortunate, as in addition to being able to discuss things with the treatment center, I have also had the opportunity to discuss them with my father, who is a retired oncologist.”

Hope / Empowerment:

  • “I think it was important for me to maintain a sense of control in my own life during a period when I had to surrender control to the doctors. Here, your own research into alternative medicine, diet, and exercise can be the little bit of control you can take back. It was important for me during my illness to maintain as normal a daily life as possible so that the disease did not win.

    In other words, by continuing to fight, I did not completely fall apart and would not face additional health challenges. And since I maintained a daily routine during the process and did not look sick, and even gained weight, it gave me hope that I could win the fight.

    And in April 2026, with my oncologist’s approval (she was aware of my father’s work), I was able to call myself cured but still in follow-up.

    This was the milestone and the goal I had always hoped for and fought for. The doctors and nurses have always been very impressed with my progress.”

  • “I was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer at the age of 55 in 2022. Like out of the blue, the first noticeable symptoms I had felt only a few months before.

    With the diagnosis followed a treatment plan from the hospital, which I started immediately after. Life-prolonging anti-hormone therapy. In addition, chemo and later radiation in the beginning was the start of my new life. The doctors were clear that the cancer was expected to return in an unknown future, but that they had several tools in their toolbox.

    Scary new times for me. Just as my wife and I were about to live the dream and had moved to the countryside. From the very beginning, I had a very clear conviction and belief that I could influence and strengthen my course of illness through my own initiatives. First came strength training, then dietary changes. And shortly after, dietary supplements. And all the way through, I tried to think positively. Doing something made me feel strong. I tried to gather knowledge and info on the internet, in FB groups, read books.

    In 2025, I then found and became a member of the FB group Jeg Har Kræft-Hvad Kan Jeg Gøre [I Have Cancer-What Can I Do]. Here, everything fell into place for me. An incredibly extensive amount of work lies behind it. Here, I have especially read with great interest the articles that are posted (and continuously updated) regarding the various dietary supplements. As well as other complementary approaches, where the spiritual approaches also hold my great interest. I believe that peace of mind is extremely important to weaken the cancer.

    On the associated website, I have especially found the topic of metabolic blocking very useful – here I can read and find inspiration for initiatives regarding exactly my type of cancer.

    It is hard to express how much this FB group and website have meant to me. But I have found an inner peace regarding living with incurable cancer. And not least, it has strengthened my belief in how much it can mean to do something yourself – which can be added on top of and reinforce/prolong the conventional treatment.

    I believe that the sum of the two approaches exceeds each one of them individually. In the FB group, there is also an active membership base. Questions are also answered by those who have tried it themselves. Have found a lot of support there myself.”

  • “When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and chemotherapy wasn’t working, it became clear that there wasn’t much help to be found from the doctors. My family and I were not ready to give up, so we had to fight on our own. In that situation, the fear is immense, and everything is overwhelming. For us, the I Have Cancer information site and its associated community became our lifeline.

    Here, on the site and in the connected group, we could discuss all the practical aspects of daily life – from nausea and sleeping positions to finding ways to access Stenocare oil, which ended up helping my mother a lot. Through the site, I got in touch with skilled people who could help with our specific issues. Hanne Kjær Uhlig and her information site are a completely unique powerhouse and an invaluable resource. Who the heck sits ready at 4:30 in the morning to provide input on a rash on my mother’s foot?

    When you’re in a situation where you feel so fragile that you could be blown over like a dandelion seed, this sharing of knowledge and care means everything. The fact that another member writes, “Give us an update when the ambulance has been there,” means the world. Even though you should always keep your common sense, this site is completely different from other places. That has been my clear experience as a relative. The site and the community hold you together – it’s pure connective tissue.”

  • “When someone you love is suddenly affected by cancer, life changes for both of you. One of the first things you realize is how little you actually know. The diagnosis itself provides only limited information, and there is a lot of work in understanding the disease that has affected your loved one – and which now changes daily life. Knowledge about the disease, treatment options, and what you can do yourself to strengthen body and mind becomes the key to the new reality.

    The healthcare system contributes something – but often limited to the specific treatment. If you search online, you find something else, but it takes time and persistence to find the right search terms and assess the quality of the information, especially with less common types of cancer. Conversations with other cancer patients and relatives also provide a lot, and over time, you gather a body of knowledge you can use.

    How I wish I had had the opportunity to visit “I Have Cancer” from the start. That opportunity only came after about six months – but since then, I have read it all. Some of it I will probably never need. Other parts concern a disease that is not relevant now and hopefully never will be. But much of it is directly useful in my situation.

    It is a unique reference work with access to source-supported information, which has been an invaluable help in creating the best possible daily life in our fight against cancer. It provides the foundation we can build on.

    Thank you to everyone who supports ensuring the site’s continued existence. – Hanne Kjær Uhlig’s spouse”

  • “As a children’s librarian at a hospital library, I occasionally meet families who ask for books about a specific illness aimed at children. “Isn’t there a book that can explain what cancer is to a three-year-old?” And yes, there may be some books or pamphlets, but they either deal with a specific type of cancer or the level is too abstract for the child’s age. I am therefore really glad that I can now refer to the wonderful books on jegharkraeft.dk if parents or grandparents ask for books about cancer that they can read with younger children who are relatives. Or if they have a child affected by cancer and perhaps one or more healthy siblings.

    These are some really good stories that can help both children and parents find a language for serious illness and the often complicated processes that follow. There is a real lack of good literature on these topics, especially for younger children. The books have a warm tone and tell, in a simple yet imaginative way, what the disease does to the body and what helps – not least how the child themselves can help by creating joy for the person who is ill. At the back of each book, there is a page with some find-the-object activities that also support reading as something fun you do together. In this way, the book can help demystify an otherwise serious situation.

    Hanne’s books can help the whole family communicate about all the difficult, but also the good and lovely aspects of being a family that can support and help each other.”

  • “I would like to warmly recommend Hanne Kjær Uhlig’s children’s books about cancer.
    In my many years as a kindergarten and primary school teacher, I have occasionally encountered families affected by the disease. Most often, it is grandparents, but I have also experienced children living with a sick parent, children who lose a father or mother, and children who are themselves affected, most often by leukemia.

    Finding suitable literature on the subject has never been successful for me. There is nothing really good that suits the level of a 5-7-year-old child. I am very critical when I read to children, as the book must stimulate multiple senses while being informative and exciting enough to hold the child’s attention.

    Here, I think Hanne’s books hit the mark. They fill a void and are a gift to families in crisis due to cancer. The books are easy to read and not boring. The language is simple, flowing, and age-appropriate, and the content illuminates and answers many important questions. At the same time, I love the illustrations. It is so important for children that the illustrations capture their attention, and for me, it is important that they show warmth and are pleasant to look at, and this is fulfilled in Hanne’s books.

    There are several books in the series and more on the way, and they cover different types of cancer and are aimed at different ages.
    Bravo and a thousand thanks, Hanne!”

A Goldmine of Knowledge

  • “Where the established system consists of experts in disease control, “jegharkraeft.dk” focuses on the whole person and the body’s own potential. By gathering experts, patient stories, and the latest research in one place, Hanne makes the overwhelming a little more manageable.”
