I decided that really what I wanted was a garden that had a lot of perennials in it and bulbs in it.

我決定，我真正想要的是一個有很多多年生植物和球莖的花園。

She also cycles 60 miles a week and does Pilates.

It's hard to believe she has advanced breast cancer, which has spread to her bones and chest walls.

很難相信她患的是晚期乳腺癌，癌細胞已經擴散到她的骨骼和胸壁。

But she's had incredible results from the new drug called Capivasertib.

但她從名為 Capivasertib 的新藥中獲得了令人難以置信的效果。

It's a fantastic drug, it's just amazing, it does literally allow you to have a normal kind of life and to forget sometimes even that you've got cancer.

這是一種神奇的藥物，它真的很神奇，它確實能讓你過上正常人的生活，有時甚至能讓你忘記自己得了癌症。

And it's given me nearly four years now of uh extra time.

The drug, which was first designed at the Institute of Cancer Research, is now being made available on the NHS.

They started working on this new drug here 20 years ago, scientists wanted a medicine that could target the growth protein in cancer cells and switch it off, and that's what they've achieved.

20 年前，他們就開始在這裡研究這種新藥，科學家們希望有一種藥物能夠靶向癌細胞中的生長蛋白，並將其關閉，這就是他們的成果。

The scientists behind it say it's one of the most effective drugs they've seen for advanced cancer.

它背後的科學家說，這是他們所見過的治療晚期癌症最有效的藥物之一。

This really is quite a breakthrough for many patients, and some patients as well can have really durable responses on Capivasertib.

對於許多患者來說，這確實是一個很大的突破，而且有些患者對 Capivasertib 的反應也非常持久。

And that's what's so exciting about it, that it helps double treatment on average, and for some people can actually potentially induce responses for years.

這也正是它令人興奮的地方，它能使治療效果平均加倍，對某些人來說，它還可能誘發數年的反應。

Oh, it's nice to see all the flowers come out anyway.

Oh look, a little Robin on the bird feeder over there.

It means Linda and her husband are able to travel.

It does make you think about your life and what you've done with your life and what you want to do with your life in in the future, um, but at least you feel well enough to make those plans and confident enough as well.

它確實會讓你思考自己的人生，思考自己的人生都做了些什麼，思考自己未來的人生要做什麼，嗯，但至少你感覺良好，足以制定這些計劃，也足夠自信。

It's hoped around 3,000 women a year in England like Linda.

希望英國每年能有 3000 名像琳達這樣的女性。
