Cricket legend Geoffrey Boycott has revealed how he turned to Feng Shui to help him beat cancer.

The famously blunt-speaking former England captain says he was open to anything in his four-year fight against the killer disease after the discovery of a tumour in his neck.

He enlisted the help of Master Li, a feng shui expert used by a friend - who advised him which direction he should sleep and identifying which areas of his house were most healthy.

How feng shui helped Geoffrey Boycott in cancer fight

My close friend at the time, Russell Homer, had used this particular feng shui master for his home in Jersey, so on his recommendation I got in touch with Master Li. We had previously furnished him with the exact time and dates of birth for Rachael, Emma and myself in order that he could prepare our individual readings before he came.

Master Li explained that there is a health area in every house and we should have a small light on 24 hours a day in that area. He also advised us to put a water feature in the kitchen and he told me in what direction I had to sleep, with the back of my head facing south/south east for the rest of that Chinese year. Apparently you heal as you sleep, so it is important to know where to sleep.

Rachael moved me into a small single bedroom to accommodate this and also the chair in my snug was moved in to a good direction. He added that our health moves in 10-year cycles and mine had started when I was seven years old; he said it was written in my chart that I was going to have health problems from ages 57 to 67.

He also said I would need to celebrate my 70th birthday with a big party, although at the time I was not sure I would make that milestone. However, Rachael says that is when she knew, without doubt, I was going to survive, and that is what kept her going in the terrible times. Deep down she always had this certainty I would live.

Geoffrey Boycott: How I learned to love Feng Shui

Boycott was determined to complete his 35 doses of radiotherapy and arranged for a Feng Shui expert to visit the home he shared with his daughter and wife Rachael as he tried to get better.

He revealed how Master Li, a feng shui master previously used by a friend, did a reading for him and his house, explaining which direction he should sleep in to ensure he would heal. The family followed his advice, moving Boycotts bed and chair and identifying the health area of the house with a light.

Boycott was diagnosed with cancer in 2002, after noticing a lump in his neck. As someone who does not smoke and rarely drinks, he was confused by the diagnosis and his first thought was, Why me?

After a number of tests, doctors told him the tumour was about the size of a 50 pence piece. It was too large to remove and he would have three months to live unless he undertook a gruelling series of chemotherapy and radiation.

He decided to have the treatment.

He wrote: In one day cricket I used to count my runs, how many an over we needed to win and whether we were above or below the asking rate. I went about it in exactly the same way when I had treatment. I would count each and every one until we got to the halfway mark.

Boycott had to have laser treatment five days a week, which left terrible burns on his neck that had to be covered to stop them becoming infected. He had to wear a plastic mask that was bolted down onto a table, staying completely still to prevent the rays hitting his spine.

He said he was in agony each time the protective pads were removed and his skin was exposed to the air.

His wife likened his chemotherapy drugs, which he was given intravenously, to mustard gas. These drugs destroyed his taste buds, which took 12 months to regenerate, as well as his immune system which took two years to return to normal.

The former England captain lost weight rapidly throughout the treatment, once at the rate of 10lbs in a week, and was unable to eat because of painful blisters filling his mouth.

In his new book, The Corridor of Certainty, which is being serialised by the Daily Telegraph, Mr Boycott wrote: I was open to anything, just trying to find things to help me stay alive,

The 73-year-old said that on diagnosis, he was given just three months to live unless he embarked on a gruelling programme of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.

He coped with the painful sessions following the 2002 diagnosis by thinking back to his cricketing days.
