In 2012 I lost a dear friend to breast cancer.  The treatment she was prescribed was aggressive & scary.  I've also seen too many of my friends and family battle this disease, so this charity is close to my heart.  I've chosen Against Breast Cancer as they as they fund research into new treatments that target all types of secondary breast cancer cells before they have the chance to grow into tumours, wherever they may be in the body.  Anything that can make the treatment better in the future gets a thumbs up from me!

Secondary breast cancer is currently a managed disease; there is no cure.  This is because it is impossible to know if every breast cancer cell that has moved from the breast has been targeted and destroyed.  Some tumour types are resistant to treatments that are currently available and resistance can also develop over time.  Against Breast Cancer is working with expert scientists at the University of Oxfords Glycoprotein Therapeutic Laboratory to investigate how to target treatment to secondary cancers.  This will enable cancer-destroying drugs to be delivered specifically to secondary tumours before they grow and symptoms are experienced.

Any support you can give would be most welcome and appreciated.

Many thanks
