What could ten more years mean to a family?

Screening is not about expecting bad news. It is about reducing uncertainty, and giving you and your clinician more options while there are more options to have.

For Heather A. Valentine, that question is deeply personal.

After several cancer free years, her mother’s cancer returned, appearing in her lungs and metastasising rapidly to her bones.

Heather has spent more than 25 years working across life sciences and scientific innovation. Her experience with her mother made the importance of earlier detection personal.

“Early detection saves lives.”

Because detecting cancer earlier isn’t only about an earlier answer.

It can mean more options, more possibilities and, potentially, more time.
