Stories that explain how we help you

Hello, I’m Grace Gawler:

My independent cancer navigation services are globally unique and represent a new paradigm in cancer care. As such they can be hard to pigeonhole. Even doctors struggle with this.

Therefore, rather than complex explanations I present these stories to illustrate some of the ways I help patients navigate the cancer maze.

I recommend spending a few minutes to read these true stories. They could change your life.

Story 1:

Recently a patient contacted me after having received a poor prognosis from a reputable Australian hospital. During our short consultation she was overjoyed when I informed her that a viable medical treatment for her particular cancer was…

available at another hospital in the very same city. Sadly, this scenario is not uncommon. Happily my patient did not accept the original prognosis and sought advice from me.

Many decades ago I recognised the need for an independent advisory service. I began building a network comprising some of the best minds in cancer medicine; both nationally and internationally. Over many decades I’ve helped patients access such innovative treatment hubs. I guide them through the process, before, during and after. The diverse range of medical expertise in my networks means means a wider range of treatment options. Like the case above, this can be life saving.

The story demonstrates just one of many ways that I help patients bridge existing gaps in standard cancer medicine. Consequently; after learning about new and exciting, minimally invasive recovery options, a high percentage of patients say; “I wish I found you sooner.”

Story 2:

This story illustrates how I combine the best of old fashioned naturopathy with hi-tech modern cancer treatments. When R approached me for advice, he was being treated for liver cancer. He said the worst part of his treatment was …

the daily vomiting and diarrhoea which had plagued him for almost 2 years. He could not sleep properly or socialise with friends. Restaurants were out of the question.

I prescribed him a naturopathic remedy to soothe his stomach and intestinal linings. I knew from my training that this would not interfere with his particular medical treatments. Several days later R rang me to say the vomiting and diarrhoea had stopped and he was sleeping like a baby.

I continued to assist R to help him access the best of medical treatments. He was later declared all clear.

Story 3:

This story illustrates how I help patients access overseas treatments unavailable in Australia.
A high profile Sydney man, contacted me days before a surgery at a Sydney hospital to remove his eye socket and upper facial quadrant…

Naturally he was quite distressed knowing he faced a tough five-month recovery which would affect his quality of life. Grace Gawler immediately referred him for a rapid turnaround second opinion.
Over the next few hours, Grace Gawler, was speaking to several world experts for his particular cancer (specialists in Europe and Japan) and they were giving their expert opinion on his scans. Within a day a plan was decided upon with a viable treatment option. He cancelled his radical surgery.
Due to Grace Gawler’s interventions, he was able to access I high-tech surgical treatment with a world expert in an accredited hospital in Japan. He had minimal side effects and experienced successful treatment of the tumour. He is alive and well in 2024.

Story 4.

Anne had been been told by her GP in April 2023: “Your breast tumour was so advanced I thought it would explode. I was expecting you to be in a wheelchair and did not expect you to survive”, but here you are a year later, and you are walking again and back at your work. I can’t believe what I am seeing”!

Anne was deemed palliative, and her unrelenting pain became so severe at one point, she even asked her doctor about assisted suicide. A relative prompted her to contact Grace Gawler, who delivered the good news that she had helped many so-called palliative patients in the past.

Although bedridden, Grace helped her navigate through the medical system where she was offered targeted cancer treatments. UPDATE 2025 – Tumours are regressing an she feels very well.
A year passed and great improvements were made, but some symptoms returned. Anne and Grace worked intensively, left no stone unturned and even more targeted solutions were included in her program.

Her health has improved immensely, and her spirit is shining. It was at this time that her GP was amazed and bewildered by the changes he witnessed.

Grace is continuing to assist Anne to increase her overall well-being whilst continuing to navigate her to access state-of-the-art cancer treatments that one year ago, would not have been offered let alone been thought possible.
UPDATE May 2025: Alongside targeted treatment Anne chose to visit Japan for cell based therapy. It has been a turning point. Many of her tumours have regressed and she is back at work.
