"I still have a lot of living left to do." Sue, ovarian cancer survivor

Dear Voornaam,

"I will never stop feeling grateful" 

“My name is Sue Vincent and I’d like to share my story about an incredible cancer drug that has given me my life back – and has given back my daughters their mum, and my grandchildren their nan. 

“In 2007 I was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer. Remarkably, I was offered a place on a clinical trial for a new drug, the development of which was underpinned by research at The Institute of Cancer Research, London. Fourteen years on, I’m still taking olaparib. It’s given me a quality of life I could only have dreamed about." 

You can read my full story here.

World-class research like this takes time and investment – which is why we are asking for your support this Christmas, so that more women like Sue can survive cancer and get their lives back too.

We’re deeply committed to finding better ways to diagnose and treat breast and ovarian cancer – and advance innovative new treatments through our drug discovery programme.
