If I had the choice …
If I had the choice, would I rather have surgery to cut out part or all of my tongue, or have a treatment that left me still with my ability to eat and talk normally?
If I could have a skin cancer treatment that didn’t leave a hollow or a scar – or worse still require me to have a ‘patch’ of skin transplanted to fill the hole where the cancer had been cut out – which option would be my choice?
If I could have a lung cancer treatment that didn’t remove my lung, would I prefer that choice?
If I could have a cancer treatment that could be a one-off – not months of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or major surgery – I think you know what I would say.
PDT is not a cure-all. It is never going to be the answer for every cancer or serious medical condition. But it does have great potential.
Around the world, patients are being treated – some in trials – for vulval and cervical cancers, prostate and pancreatic, liver and bladder, brain and lung, oesophageal and throat, mouth and vascular.
New trials are due to start in the UK for brain, bone, sarcoma and breast cancer.
If we could bring all those treatments to the UK now, what a difference that would make to you, your life and that of friends and family.
A definitive report about PDT from the Department of Health is due to be published in weeks. We (and I suspect you), call on everyone in the health and cancer research worlds to help GIVE US THE CHANCE and invest in more PDT research today.
If you know of someone who would like to help us to with funding or any other practical help, please email us today.
