Raising awareness · 4 February 2025

We are fundraising to enable a trial of immunotherapy for women whose first round of chemotherapy has not completely eradicated their disease.

Story

I am raising money for the research team who treated myself at Imperial college Healthcare Charing Cross Hospital.

The staff and treatment throughout has been amazing and they are true specialists in what they do but to continue to help women like myself and improve the treatment required to cure this disease research and training is needed. So dig deep and help me raise some money to help…. A massive Thankyou in advance!! Xx

Some more info on the trail they are currently raising money for;

This trial will offer women immunotherapy treatment instead of multi-agent chemotherapy to try and cure their disease. The trial will combine Pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with one of the single chemotherapy drugs normally used to treat this cancer. It is already used to treat other cancers such as melanoma and kidney cancer.

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. It helps your immune system to recognise and fight cancer cells. It can educate the immune system to recognize and attack specific cancer cells and boost immune cells to help them eliminate cancer.

It is much less toxic than giving multi-drug chemotherapy. We expect this trial will save more women from the toxic effects of multi-drug chemotherapy.

We need your help to fund this trial to enable women to be cured of GTD without having to endure the toxic effects of multi-drug chemotherapy.
