In my role as Patron of GRACE, as a woman and as a mother of two
daughters, I am committed and dedicated to raising the profile of the gynaecological
cancers, which is sadly, a neglected and desperately under-funded field of medicine.
It is my privilege to support GRACE in raising awareness of the symptoms of these
distressing cancers so that women seek treatment as soon as possible and can be
treated much more successfully using kinder key-hole surgery techniques. In many
cases, this not only saves lives, but also spares younger women the distress of losing
their fertility before they have had the opportunity to start their families.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Merry
Christmas and a very Happy New Year

Infroduction
On behalf of our new patron Sarah, the Duchess of York and my fellow Trustees,
welcome to the Trinity Church Cathedral Guildford for this spectacular concert in aid
of GRACE. What will follow is an eclectic mix of entertainment from musical theatre,
opera and circus interspersed with the spoken word and some of our favourite carols
and hymns. This variety reflects the way that cancer cuts through all of our lives,
whatever our background, race, religion, occupation or status.
GRACE was established in 2005 to improve the prognosis and survival rate for women
with gynaecological cancer. GRACE has already started to establish a new centre
of excellence in gynaecological cancer care at St. Luke's in Guildford, supporting a
wide-ranging clinical network across Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire in order to deliver
equity of high quality care to patients and carers alike. So far over £150,000 has
already been raised to:
*
Improve awareness and education within the population and within
primary healthcare to increase early detection of gynaecological cancers
*
Improve clinical services available to patients with provision of state-ofthe-art theatre equipment, the development of minimally invasive and
fertility sparing tfreatments, and Clinical Nurse Specialists in this field
.
Laboratory-based and epidemiological research into ovarian, uterine and
cervical cancer and into patient-centred models of follow-up for women
after cancer treatment, and into the side-effects of freatment on their lives.
Early diagnosis and treatment is vital if we are to reduce the 10,000 lives lost to
gynaecological cancer each year in the UK: ten times the capacity of Guildford
cathedral. The cutting edge of surgical technology is represented by the da Vinci
robofic system which enables the surgeon to offer more precise and comprehensive
minimally invasive surgery for early-stage gynaecological cancers to a much wider
range of patients than otherwise possible due to:
.
Intuitive dexterity of the robot-assisted system
.
Extreme accuracy and precision due to the magnified 3-D image
.
Unparalleled ease of use for complex laparoscopic surgery
Potential benefits to patients include shorter hospital stay and recovery time, with
improved clinical outcomes and reduced side-effects.
This is your opportunity to revolutionise local treatment and help GRACE raise the £1.2
million to obtain the da Vinci robotic system for St. Luke’'s Cancer Centre. This system
would ensure that we continue to offer the very best freatment to thousands more
women and continue to develop $t. Luke’s as a leading centre for gynaecological
cancer care of both national and international repute.
Merry Christmas.

GRACE Consultants
Simon Butler-Manuel
Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology
Clinical Director of the SWSH Cancer Network
Simon was the first Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology to
be appointed to the SWSH Cancer Network and has intfroduced
advanced
minimal
access surgical
techniques to treat the
gynaecological cancers of patients in this area. These techniques
result in a far quicker recovery, less scarring, less morbidity and an
earlier return to normal activities.
Simon has undertaken a great deal of patient centred research
and has a particular interest in side effects and morbidity following
treatment for cancer.
Anil Tailor
Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology
Anil was the second Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology to
be appointed to the SWSH Cancer Network. He has developed
and introduced a comprehensive database that is allowing
detailed data to be collected on cancer patients being treated
in this region. This will eventually enable cancer outcomes to be
monitored closely. It will also facilitate research and improve the
profile of our cancer centre nationally and internationally.
Anil has undertaken extensive research on ovarian cancer
screening and on the use of ultrasound to discriminate benign
from cancerous ovarian disease

Once in Royal David’s City
ALL STAND
SOLO:
Once in royal Davids city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
CHOIR ONLY:
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who s God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
ALL:
For He is our childhood’s pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And he feeleth for our sadness
And he shareth in our gladness
ALL:
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.

The Vivace ChOIUS wmcuseammamon
o
The Guildford Philharmonic Choirwas foundedin 1947 by the Borough of Guildford to perform
major works from the choral repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra. During
this time the choir has grown both in stature and reputation and can now rightly claim its
place as one of the foremost choruses in the country. The choir grew to prominence under
the batons of such eminent musicians as Sir Charles Groves, Vernon Handley and Sir David
Willcocks. Sir David remains in contact with the choir as its President. Jeremy Backhouse
became its Music Director and Conductorin 1996. The Choiris a fully auditioned Choir and
presents a varied repertoire each year.
In May 2005 the Vivace Chorus gave the first concert of its Contemporary Choral Classic
Cycle (4Cs ), aninnovative series of choral concerts comprising works from the 20th and 21st
century - classics of the future paired with established masterpieces. The concert included
Karl Jenkins ‘The Armed Man' in which the Muezzin from the Woking Mosque performed
the Muslim “Call to Prayer’ in Guildford Cathedral. The Vivace Chorus 4C’s concert this year
entitled ".... and all that Jazz' accompanied by Will Todd's jazz band for his ‘Mass in Blue'
and Bob Chilcott’s ‘A Little Jazz Mass', was a resounding success.
Other recent performances have included Dvorak's Requiem and Verdi's Requiem
(Guildford and Freiburg), Mahler's Symphony No. 8, Borodin's Polovtsian Dances and
Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky (both in Russian), Elgar's Dream of Gerontius and The Music
Makers, Haydn's Nelson Mass and Mozart's Requiem in July 2006 and January 2007, at
Guildford Cathedral and St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Amanda Burton
Amanda decided that she wanted to be an
actress when she was just seven years old. She
left Northern Ireland when she was 18 and won
a position at Manchester Polytechnic's School of
Film, TV and Theatre.
After three years working
in repertory theatre,
Amanda landed her first television role in 1982 as
Heather Haversham in Channel 4's Brookside. She
played Heather for four years and then in 1987
she took the part of Margaret Daly, a detective
constable,
in
Boon
with
Michael
Elphik
and
appeared in several episodes. In 1993, Amanda
took on the leading role of Beth Gloverin ITV's new
medical drama Peak Practice, alongside Kevin
Whately.
She first appeared in the role of Dr. Samantha Ryan
in BBC's Silent Witness in 1996 which became an
immediate success, and led to Amanda being voted Most Popular Actress, three times at
the National TV Awards and twice at the TV Quick Awards. Amanda played the role of Sam
Ryan for three years and then moved into a totally different role for the BBC. This was her
portrayal of Lynn a woman dying of cancer, in The Gift, for which Amanda was awarded
Best Actress at the Television Festival of Monte Carlo in 1999.
In that same year, Amanda teamed up with Paul McGann to star in a three-part
psychological thriller for LWT, entitled Forgotten and made a return to the screen as
Sam Ryan in a three-part series of Silent Witness. Her next television appearance was on
Ist November 2000 when she appeared in an emotional drama tackling the subject of
adoption - Little Bird - also starring Niamh Cusack. This was followed early in December 2000
when a new two-part episode of Silent Witness returned to BBC.
In April 2002 Amanda returned to British television as Crown Prosecutor Helen West in three
dramas based on the bestselling books by Frances Fyfield. Amanda became the coproducer of Silent Witness in 2002 and played Sam Ryan for the final time in September
2004.
Following this, Amanda starred in the popular The Commander series on ITV 1 and has
recently finished filming an episode of Miss Marple. A further series of The Commander
begins filming in January.
Amanda Burton was born on 10th October 1956 in Derry, Northern Ireland and has two
daughters, Phoebe and Brid. They live in London.

THE GYNAECOLOGICAL CANCERS
Ovarian Cancer
*Is known as the ‘silent killer’ as it is difficult to detect and treat
*Causes over 6,000 deaths each year in the UK
*75% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer die from the disease
*|s becoming increasingly common in the UK
The symptoms of ovarian cancer may be vague and not specific, and can therefore
be trivialised. The commonest symptoms resemble bowel problems such as IBS (lrritable
Bowel Syndrome) or indigestion, abdominal swelling or a change in bladder symptom:s.
More obvious gynaecological symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or pain on intercourse
may sometimes occur. These symptoms are common to many other conditions but the
development of new abdominal symptoms in a middle-aged lady is always a concern.
Endometrial Cancer (Cancer of the lining of the womb)
*5,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK
*Nearly 1,000 deaths each year
*|s becoming increasingly common in the UK
This cancer is most common among post-menopausal women although 20% of cases
present in women of childbearing age. Endometrial cancer typically presents with
abnormal vaginal bleeding and is more common among women taking HRT, and those
with maturity onset diabetes. Hysterectomy is the mainstay of treatment, but minimal
access techniques are increasingly being used to reduce the morbidity of this.
Cervical Cancer
*Causes the death of 1,200 women each year in the UK
*|Is the commonest cancer in women under the age of 35
This cancer is particularly common in young women but fortunately it is becoming
increasingly rare thanks to the success of the UK screening programme. New minimal
access surgical techniques for early stage cancer reduce scarring, side-effects and may,
in certain circumstances, preserve a woman's fertility.
Vulval Cancer
* A very distressing cancer affecting the skin of the external genitalia
These cancers usually present with an itchy or painful skin lesion, wart-like growth or ulcer
on the genital skin. They may cause bleeding or a blood-stained discharge and pain in
the area of the vulva. Current treatment involves surgical removal of lymph nodes in the
groin to ensure the malignancy has not spread. This causes significant morbidity as up to
50% of wounds may break down and delay healing. New equipment will minimise the risk
of these complications.
Vaginal Cancer
Cancer of the vagina is rare with fewer than 300 women diagnosed with it each year
in the UK. The most common symptoms of this cancer are a blood-stained vaginal
discharge, bleeding after sexual intercourse and pain. Problems with passing urine, such
as blood in the urine, the need to pass urine frequently and the need to pass urine at
night, can also occur. Pain in the back passage (rectum) may occur.

Land of Hope and Glory

Dear Land of Hope, the hope is crowned,
God make thee mightier yet! On Sov’ran brows, beloved, renowned,
Omnce more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Country shall be strong.
All(soft) Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
Allloud) Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
Choir
Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide;
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride.
Not that false joy that dreams content; With what our sires have won,
The blood a hero sire hath spent, Still nerves a hero son.
All (softy Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
All (loud) Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!

Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o’clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
[ will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
“Til we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land

All Stand And Sing
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ by highest heav’'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris’n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”
