YOUR SUPPORT
CHANGES LIVES
Stopping breast cancer in its tracks.
In 2002 Sarah was 32 years old and enjoying being a first-time mother. Then she heard the words ‘it’s breast cancer’.
Sarah endured a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and six weeks of radiotherapy treatments.
Sarah learned through screening that she has a genetic predisposition to breast cancer and opted for a mastectomy to stop it from developing again.
18 years on, Sarah remains happy and healthy thanks to research helping her to detect and prevent her breast cancer returning.
“Even before I received the result I was certain I had the gene and knew I was going to take preventative measures. Thank you for supporting the research that helped me do this.”
– Sarah, diagnosed 2002
Alive, well and getting on with life.
At 33 years of age, Lisa married the love of her life. It was September 2018, the day was perfect. Just two months later, her life was turned upside down.
Lisa found a lump in her right breast. Tests confirmed she had estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer.
Lisa had a mastectomy and reconstruction just 10 days before Christmas, you can see her chest drain bag in the photo.
After successful treatment, Lisa worked fewer hours, making more time for friends and her husband. None of them take anything for granted any more.
“I never thought that at 33 years I’d be questioning my own mortality and ondering if I’ll make it to 40. Thank you for helping to make research happen so my husband and I get more time together.”
– Lisa, diagnosed 2018
“As a researcher, I admire the energy, passion and enthusiasm that the community has for breast cancer research very much. We are very thankful for your generosity and kindness.”
– Dr Tu Nguyen Dumont, NBCF-funded researcher
PRECISELY WHAT’S NEEDED TO CARRY US TO THE FUTURE
Precision science in breast cancer prevention and treatment
To make Zero Deaths from breast cancer a reality, unique treatments need to be identified for each of the breast cancer sub-types, as well as an understanding of what makes treatments work for different patients.
Because of your kindness, NBCF are able to fund the best research projects that will help us reach our ambitious goal. These are just some of the projects that you are helping to fund right now. They will lead the way to breakthroughs that will save lives in the future.
It’s because of wonderful people like you that game-changing breast cancer research is taking place everyday. Thank you.
