"They can just relax and be them, and not be a cancer patient."
Wokingham's Cancer Support Network is spending their £1500 from Tesco's Stronger Starts scheme on their Nordic walking sessions.
That’s TV spoke with Vickie Randall from the network and instructor Ruth Aaron.

How appropriate that in #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth I receive my first ever bowel cancer screening kit!
Even though I was diagnosed 10 years ago I’ll do the test to be sure
Please spread the word that these kits save lives, it doesn’t take long and could be your game changer!

By chance, Paul was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
This prompted his son to get tested too and he was also diagnosed.
Our TV appeal is inspired by similar stories and will help fund research that'll stop men dying too soon.

I got the ultimate compliment this week - a consultant pharmacist is directing women to my video explaining Zoladex if they need if for breast cancer treatment 💛

The pandemic is *ongoing*.
3,024 UK deaths this year to 23 Feb 2024.
1 in 35 in UK with Long Covid March 2023 (when govt stopped counting).
SARS2 is airborne.
We *at least* need #CleanAir in all public indoor spaces.
4/4.
Long🧵 #COVID19 and where we are. I’m worried.
We are entering the 5th year of the pandemic and we are certainly in a different phase. This phase is marked by an evolving virus (with the XBB and BA.2 sublineages circulating and JN.1 becoming dominant).

The NHS-Galleri trial will be discussed at the Future of Cancer Inquiry today. Galleri is a new blood test that detects signs of over 50 types of cancers, including #myeloma. We’re waiting to hear trial results but hope this test will be instrumental in improving early diagnosis.

The hospital is currently under huge pressure from large numbers of people attending our Emergency Department (ED). These numbers are expected to increase with new year festivities and then the start of a six day strike by Junior Doctors next Wednesday.

We know there is anxiety following a genetic diagnosis. What support do we provide to support the psychological well-being of people living with inherited colorectal cancer? @lauramongar

What a wonderful time the Cancer Support Network : Cancer Champions : Berkshire had this week, making Christmas wreaths with Fletcher’s Flowers.
What a talented bunch! 🎄

I know this interview will resonate with many people with cancer. Care coordination through out cancer journey is vital, but patchy, as are compassionate expert communication skills. @macmillancancer lots of resources on both.
After being diagnosed with throat and neck cancer earlier this year, comedian @mrmarksteel tells #R4Today about his experiences with the NHS.
It comes as a new report from @Demos highlights the frustrations people have about communication from the health service.
