Susie died from a brain tumour three days after her 51^st birthday.

She was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma in May 2019 and underwent six hours of surgery at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, followed by six weeks of chemo radiation and many months of chemotherapy at University College Hospital. It was a gruelling course of treatment, which Susie endured with great courage and good humour.

Susie said at the time: “Brain cancer is a disease where very little research progress has been made, meaning the standard NHS treatment was devised 20 years ago and is a blunt instrument. I keep searching the internet desperately for the magic bullet that will save my life, but there isn’t one. We desperately need funding and research to make brain cancer curable.”

We, Susie's family, would be very grateful if you would support the National's research into brain cancer. It is such a terrible disease; we need to do more to improve treatment and find a cure.

We loved Susie so very much and will miss her enormously.
