Hi everyone. Claire here (Lucy’s mum).
I saw this post on my own feed and thought it was an important thing to highlight.
If you want to know where you money goes when you buy plants from Lucy, it’s things like this.
Your generous support will help thousands of patients each year, all thanks to the research funded by the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
You really are making a difference! 💜
BREAKING NEWS: Thanks to research led by The Royal Marsden, eligible prostate cancer patients could now receive radiotherapy treatment in just five sessions, instead of the usual 20.
That's a 75% reduction in treatment time, with the same effectiveness.
But that's not all...
This isn't just being offered at The Royal Marsden. The NHS expects to offer this practice-changing treatment across all 48 radiotherapy providers across England.
And the impact? The new treatment could be offered to around 17,500 patients with low- or intermediate-risk cancer and could free up around 50,000 appointments for prostate cancer treatments each year.
This research is just one of the ways we're ensuring The Royal Marsden can continue to develop new, better treatments for people with cancer across the UK and around the world. And we couldn't do it without your help.
