Story

It is with great sadness in our hearts, that we announce the
passing of Costa Loizou, on Tuesday 19th July 2022, at the age of 83.  He was loved by so many and will leave a huge gap in our lives.  We have been touched by how many calls and texts we have received to show respect and heartfelt condolences.

He showed such incredible strength and fight, surviving Cancer three times and even beating Covid.  However, sadly, we lost him to complications after a severe stroke.  He had an amazing zest for life, which we endeavour to continue and immense love for his family and friends.  Despite the pain of his loss, the great memories we have, will always live on in our hearts. 

Additionally, his son Andrew and Grandson Marios are embarking on a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro at the end of August.  This difficult and amazing feat will be in memory of our Costa as he too faced many challenges and overcame them. 

The impact of Cancer is a devastating one.  The Cancer unit at Guys Hospital went above and beyond with their treatment and care for Costa.  With your support we can help them make further advances in diagnosis and treatment.

In honour of his life and in his memory, instead of flowers for the funeral and for the Mount Kilimanjaro trek, please donate to our chosen charity below, Guys Cancer Charity, thank you.

With a focus on patient-centred care, we combine state-of-the art-equipment, novel clinical trials, passionate staff and the most modern cancer research with compassion and effective psychological support so that our patients and their loved ones can feel fully supported throughout their cancer journey. We do this because we know each person and every cancer is unique - we don’t want to treat them all the same. Guy’s is the leading UK provider of care and treatment for people with cancer and we’re dedicated to helping patients navigate what can be the most challenging time of their lives. With all our services located under one roof within our bright and welcoming Cancer Centre, we’re able to offer seamless care every step of the way, from diagnosis, through treatment, and after, in an environment that doesn’t feel like a traditional hospital. We know that the landscape of cancer is changing. More people are being affected, but we’re at an exciting point in time when promising new therapies are being developed and research breakthroughs are waiting to be made. It’s crucial that we continue to fund the innovative research, treatment and exceptional care that takes place at Guy’s to ensure we keep going above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide as we help more people cope with and survive cancer.
