What Does a Doctor Do When Cancer Strikes?

This Norwegian bestseller tells the story about a young doctor who was forced to find his very own answers. When conventional treatments were not enough and his prognosis was dire, Dr Oyvind Torp was left with no other choice than to scour the scientific literature to discover strategies that might prove helpful.

This book explains in detail how you can take part in your war against cancer, based on the latest science. In addition to standard cancer treatments, the author outlines 10 effective strategies individuals can utilise to keep cancer at bay.

• Discover the science of how diet- and lifestyle changes can effectively disarm cancer cells and make them weak and vulnerable.


• Learn how diet and physical activity can stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells and defeat the disease alongside traditional treatment methods.

On a summer day in 2016, Dr Oyvind Torp was sitting in his consulting room looking at the image of his own MRI scan. There were patients in the waiting area, but he couldn’t gather his thoughts. The image showed cancerous tumours. The doctor had suddenly become a patient himself.

His survival instinct was aroused. Was there anything he could do to improve his chances of surviving cancer?

After investigations, operations, pain and morphine his body came to life again and his will to resist and fight cancer grew. Studying the research reports, he found numerous measures, large and small, that individually and together could be effective against cancer, in addition to the standard treatment. A year after the operations he crossed the starting line in the Berlin Marathon, with joy and relief in each step.

Still a cancer patient, four years after the diagnosis, he is now in better shape than ever before. Against all odds, his cancer has stopped growing.

This book gives invaluable advice to cancer patients and to everyone who wishes to do whatever possible to stay healthy and avoid cancer.

This Norwegian bestseller was originally published in March 2019 and is now in its 4th edition. The book will be published in more European countries during 2020.
