In 2005, she was awarded a life Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine for her work on diet and cancer, which she undertook when diagnosed with breast cancer for the 5th time, being given months to live. She switched to a non-dairy diet and reversed her cancer on the basis of her research, which had such an impact on her oncologist that he now routinely advises his patients to do the same. Prof Plant is the author of Your Life In Your Hands: Understanding, Preventing, and Overcoming Breast Cancer, The No-Dairy Breast Cancer Prevention Program: How One Scientist's Discovery Helped Her Defeat Her Cancer, and Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome, and has done much work with cancer clinics.
