‘It’ll be great if others don’t have to go through the effects of these drugs’

NEWS that the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) has found a way to plot the most effective treatment of breast cancer will be welcome news for patients like Dubliner Leah Grange.

She has overcome the disease in the past year but the effects of cancer drugs have been one of the worst aspects of her illness.

The RCSI’s findings, which are expected to come into operation in the next year or two, could mean reducing the level of drugs required for women like Leah who respond well to treatment.
