“My girls growing up without their dad”- Nicola & Simon Whittock’s story
My husband Simon had been extremely fit and healthy prior to contracting brain cancer. He died at 50 having faced his dreadful illness head on with immense courage, dignity and positivity. I feel cheated of my future and our daughters will grow up without their Dad.
RESEARCH
Our brain tumour research programme is possibly one of the most comprehensive in the world. Its aim is to look at every possibility to improve the outlook for brain tumour patients by producing rapid “translational” research, ie research that translates into treatments as quickly as possible. We have examined every aspect of the patient pathway from diagnosis through treatment to survival and have identified areas that require improvement to achieve this.
RESEARCH SECTIONS:
Collaborations
The best research comes through exchanging ideas and collaborating with other institutions, both nationally and internationally.
Publications
Research funded by BTRC has produced numerous publications and presentations: here is a list of the published papers, abstracts, posters and presentations that our grants have facilitated.
DONATE
Donations, fundraising and sponsorship are vital to our work.
Our promise
