Emma and Link

Precision treatment gave Emma hope

Emma English is winning her battle with cancer with support from donor-funded, state-of-the-art cancer diagnostic technology.

Frighteningly, as a 28-year-old, Emma discovered that her colon cancer had spread to her liver, but Emma’s oncologist used the ‘MiSequencer’ to identify the gene sequence of her cancer and provide her with precision treatment to fight the cancer.

Generous donations to the Foundation helped save Emma’s life.

Emma, now 31, has completed treatment and is planning a family with her husband.

Read Emma's amazing story.

Your donation will support advanced treatment options and provide hope to many who are suffering from cancer.

 


Your generosity has already achieved so much.

The Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) device was acquired in early 2020, and was fully funded by generous donations. 

The IORT provides significant benefits to breast cancer patients, including drastically reduced treatment and quicker recovery times, through targeted radiation treatment.

Debra Strauss was the very first private hospital patient in Australia to benefit from the innovative technology in April this year.

The impact of advanced cancer treatment for Debra

“The benefit, I mean, it’s amazing, I'm so grateful that I can spend more time at home to recover, relax, and spend time with family.

It’s made a real difference for me, and improved my cancer treatment at a time when being with loved ones is more important than ever” - Debra Strauss.

Your tax-deductible donation today will help us support St John of God hospitals to offer the latest in advanced cancer treatment options for patients in our communities.
