The woman, Georgia Browne was breastfeeding her baby, Monty, at that time, and it occured to her that her father, Tim, could also benefit from her breastmilk. Georgia got the idea after she watched a TV documentary in which a man expressed belief that drinking breastmilk helped him in fighting his prostrate cancer.

‘I watched the documentary and thought it was a really mad idea, if it was true,’ she says. ‘I started looking on the net and found research suggesting breastmilk helps kill cancer cells.

‘Finding out I could help was amazing. I could play my small part in helping my dad do something positive for his illness. ‘When I talked to him about it, he thought it was a great idea. He thought: “Why not?”’

So Tim has now been having his daughter’s breastmilk along with his cornflakes every morning, expressed specially for him by Georgia.

‘I’m still feeding Monty so I feed him first, then I fill a bag for my dad. We’ll continue as long as I am breastfeeding,’ says Georgia.

So far, Tim asserts he has felt better and more energetic, and his doctors are also supportive of his unconventional method of treatment. A scan of his cancer also shows a slight improvement.

Might be all those immunoglobulins in the breastmilk that’s working?
