Will you help us develop more powerful, and kinder treatments?
With your help, we could do so much more to develop new treatments to target, and potentially halt, the progression of aggressive breast cancer.
I’m Professor Ester Hammond, a breast cancer researcher. I’m one of many working to develop new treatments that are both powerful and kind, with fewer side effects than current treatment.
Often, treatments for breast cancer can come with awful side effects, and that’s why we’re working to develop new treatments that are both powerful and kind. And with 1 in 7 women in the UK being diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, we need answers urgently.

Your gift today could help someone like Angela
We're currently investigating how oxygen levels change within breast cancer cells. We believe these changes may play a key role in driving the type of breast cancer Angela was diagnosed with. By understanding this process, our research could uncover new ways to target and potentially halt the progression of aggressive breast cancer.
With your support, we believe the day will come when no one has to go through what Angela did. Like every researcher at Breast Cancer Now, I’m committed to our 2050 goal: that everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will survive—and be supported to live well.
This research is exciting – maybe one day others might not have to go through the treatments I went through. Treatments that make you feel sick, lose your hair, lose your breasts or feel poorly for a long time.
