  • Bianca Perea, a 32-year-old trainee lawyer, is the first person in the UK to undergo a liver transplant for advanced bowel cancer.
  • Initially diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in November 2021, her prognosis focused on prolonging life, not finding a cure.
  • After undergoing 37 rounds of chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, she showed a remarkable response, leading to the removal of her bowel tumor.
  • A liver transplant was explored after initial tumors were deemed inoperable; she was placed on the transplant list in February 2024.
  • Her oncologist confirmed the absence of active tumor cells post-surgery, emphasizing the need for continued research and organ donation donor awareness.
