"Guy’s Cancer embodies everything that's really fantastic about the NHS."

Louisa Fleure

Louisa Fleure knew she wanted to be a nurse from just three years old, and completed her nursing training at Guy’s in the late 1980’s.

After losing her first husband to bowel cancer in 2006, she understands how deeply personal the impact of cancer is and the vital need for personalised support. “Phil’s death gave me a new focus on what was important and what I felt I could contribute. It brought me back to nursing with a very different perspective, because I’d been there.”

Louisa is now a Consultant Nurse in Urology, looking after patients with advanced prostate cancer, and ensuring everyone in her care receives comprehensive, highly personalised care that’s as unique as they are. This commitment to providing dedicated, tailored support led to Louisa setting up the Advanced Prostate Cancer Club with financial support from Guy’s Cancer Charity, building a vital network for patients, survivors and loved ones affected by the disease.

“Our club brings the experience of the individual to the heart of what we do. It’s supporting patients way beyond their medical treatment – we’re also trying to give them all the support they need to live well on their treatment, and that’s their quality of life, their relationships.”

That’s why we’re not just Guy’s Cancer Charity, but Louisa’s too.
