Taylor was 27 when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer). After surgery, Taylor started an aggressive course of chemotherapy, only to discover she had a genetic mutation, which meant it wouldn’t work.

“The cancer had spread to my liver, pancreas, abdominal lining, lungs, chest, the outside of my heart and in my throat,” explains Taylor.

There was little hope left. Her choices were palliative care or finding a clinical trial.

Taylor joined a trial run by Dr Ladwa, a PA Researcher whose work you’ve helped to fund.

Taylor was treated using immunotherapy, where drugs help the body’s own immune system to find and destroy cancer cells.

“The results have been nothing short of miraculous,” says Taylor. “I’m almost disease-free.”

This Christmas, please help make sure that patients like Taylor don’t run out of options. Give a gift today to support research to develop new cancer treatments and save lives.
