In June 2007, her breast cancer was growing and she started to suffer more and more. In August, she developed an icterus, her skin took on a yellow colour. Marco Pfister told her this was a symptom of recovery, and her yellow skin in reality was caused by her anger not to be able to visit Ischia island during her holidays where she had rented a vacation house. An operation was only of use for ''esthetic reasons'', Pfister advised. Her left breast meanwhile showed several large tumours. On August 27, she was admitted to a local hospital (Ospedali Riuniti di Bergamo) as an emergency case and received a blood donation. There were several metastases in her body.

− | Italian physician Paolo Rossaro from Albignasego (Vicenza) has been known to treat cancer patients according to New Medicine and to perform a New Medicine-specific ''CT brain scan diagnosis''. He also founded a private association called ''Primum vitae''. Several of his patients died following his instructions, but no patient healed has been known of so far. Rossaro is now accused of unvoluntary manslaughter and of causing severe bodily injuries ("omicidio colposo" art 589 cp und "lesioni colpose"), and faces the loss of his medical license.<ref>newspaper article ''Mattino aus Padova'' May 19, 2007</ref><ref>newspaper article ''Giornale di Vicenza'' May 19, 2007</ref>

− | *On Christmas Eve 2007, Italian truck driver Christian Trevisan died of Hodgkin lymphoma in Vicenza (Italy) at the age of only 35,<ref>article in ''giornale di Vicenza'' December 29, 2006</ref> leaving a wife and a daughter. According to several different newspaper articles, he refused conventional medical help and believed in Hamer's New Medicine and in the miraculous abilities of Paolo Rossaro. Rossaro in vain treated Trevisan with ''oceanic water'', vitamins and the psychological support of New Medicine. When his situation deteriorated, Trevisan in despair finally decided to seek help in a conventional clinic where doctors decided to sue Rossaro. But Trevisan's situation was so grave that treatment failed and he died after a short time.

− | '''Hodgkin lymphoma:''' Hodgkin lymphoma can be cured, offering a good prognosis for patients. Approximately 95% of all Hodgkin patients today survive due to a modern therapy (according to studies done on more than 14,000 cases). Using radiation and chemotherapy, 96% of all 920 patients in Germany between 1994 and 2003 survived for 5 years and 95% survived for 10 years. During the sixties, only about 30% of all patients survived.<ref>Jahresbericht 2004 des Deutschen Kinderkrebsregisters, Universität Mainz</ref> According to a study from the USA (2006), the prognosis was over 80%.<ref>Ansell SM, Armitage JO, Management of Hodgkin lymphoma, Mayo Clin Proc. 2006 Mar;81(3):419-26</ref>
