The way in which we look at cancer is changing fast. Cancer Options are leading the movement embracing the research, science and evidence to support our clients with a fully integrated personalised plan.
About Us
Hi, I'm Patricia Peat, Founder of Cancer Options.
​
I recognised the importance of looking at cancer through a metabolic lens around 24 years ago, following several years working in orthodox medicine and running oncology clinics.
I really struggled with seeing people have cancer treatments without any recovery strategies put in place right through to preventing recurrence, and dealing with late stage strategies. So, I started researching what scientific evidence was available worldwide to address this.
In 2003 I set up Cancer Options so I could support people with cancer by looking at their individual needs. Taking a metabolic, integrative approach I develop support plans for my clients which I review, monitor and adapt as their circumstances change . Cancer is not a static disease; its adaptive and clever and in understanding the metabolic environment, it provides me with an insight into how best to support my clients in an effective way.

Yes to Life 'Pushing the Boundaries' Annual conference
This year’s conferences – one online in the Summer, and one in-person in the Autumn – share the title ‘Pushing the Boundaries’, as we have decided to devote them both to looking at the latest developments in Integrative Medicine, across the board.
​
The conferences are being co-created by Patricia Peat from Cancer Options and the Peat Institute and Yes to Life, with the aim of sending our audiences home with a wealth of resources on which to be able to draw for their own needs. Both events will be priced for accessibility, and the in-person Autumn Conference will include an extensive Exhibition that will offer yet more knowledge and resources to delegates.
Yes to Life celebrates twenty years of service
Yes to Life, the UK's only integrated cancer care charity reaches 20 years old this month. Yes to Life was founded by Robin Daly after the death of his daughter Bryony who contracted cancer aged 9, dying at 23 after 2 recurrences. The immense difficulties the family faced making their treatment choices prompted him to set up the charity to help others in similar situation. Cancer Options has worked alongside Yes to Life for many years and wishes everyone who works there a very Happy 20th Year celebration and congratulations for making it to 20 in a very challenging environment.
