I've had excellent care for breast cancer over the last year. Women in Gaza have a much harder time. Cancer services are woefully inadequate with out of date technology for screening, no facilities for radiotherapy, little information on self examination and rising incidence of breast cancer. A woman in Gaza with breast cancer has less than a 50% chance of being alive in 5 years; for women like me in the UK there's an 87% survival rate five years on. The money I raise will go towards breast cancer services at the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza which is supported by Amos Trust, the charity where I am chair of trustees.
