A huge well done to footballing hero Harry Redknapp for winning £10,000 for the incredible Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation on ITV's TV show 'You Bet'! 👏 Great to spotlight the importance of DSRCT research and the vital work the Foundation's undertaking to support young people affected by cancer.

Sonia lost her mum to #BreastCancer and was diagnosed herself when she was 28. She later discovered she carries the BRCA2 gene mutation, putting her at increased risk of cancer. Eight years on, after successful treatment, she is thankfully well 💛

We're pleased that NICE have recommended that olaparib can be used for NHS patients with advanced #BreastCancer. The treatment offers the chance of longer, healthier lives for people with breast cancer caused by faulty #BRCA1 or #BRCA2 genes. icr.ac.uk/about-us/icr-n…
