We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

Each year around 7,000 UK women*, like me, will find out they have ovarian cancer.  Catching it early is vital for a good outcome - 57% will die within 5 years because early detection is difficult.**


A quick check of ovarian cancer symptoms can be found at

I'm taking part in an 18-week clinical trial called ICON8 comparing the standard 6 x 3-weekly chemotherapy treatment with other options 

(http://www.icon8trial.org/about_icon8/overview.aspx). This trial is supported by Cancer Research UK among others.


There's more info at my blog http://clairemilesblog.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/to-do-today/.

Your donation will help this vital work and help motivate me to stick with it!
