A statement from Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, Michelle Mitchell:   “On behalf of everyone at Cancer Research UK, I wish Her Royal Highness a full, swift recovery and return to good health. During this difficult time, it’s important that the Princess is given the time and space to focus on her treatment and that we respect the family’s privacy.   “Nearly one in two of us will develop cancer during our lifetimes, but many more are affected when someone they love is diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to research there is hope - cancer survival has doubled in the last 50 years.   “High profile cancer cases often act as a prompt to encourage people to find out more or think about their own health. If people spot something that's not normal for them or isn't going away, they should check with their GP. It probably won't be cancer. But if it is, spotting it at an early stage means treatment is more likely to be successful.”

It makes me so angry that anyone is forced to reveal private medical details because the press and social media won’t let it lie.

This general election needs to be a turning point for people affected by cancer. I'm calling on party leaders to back Cancer Research UK's calls for #LongerBetterLives action.cancerresearchuk.org/…

It was my dream to speak at a literary festival last year about my memoir ‘ Under The Knife’. Sometimes things don’t happen but that’s OK. Instead - I’m offering 10 book clubs the chance to have a virtual chat with me instead. Who’s interested????

Our book's landed in Oz. "I'm delighted to have received my copy of "Stories of Cancer & Hope" by Kevin Donaghy. It's an honour to be a part of your journey Kevin and what you are giving back to this community is inspired. I'd highly recommend downloading the book."

1st review Amazon."Having cancer can be a very lonely place.Friends & family may offer support however there is nothing better than hearing from others who have/had cancer. So many time I thought "that's happened to me" when reading this book. After reading I don't feel as alone"

The day my sweet Daughter found out she had #BrainCancer at age 11. 💔 Ashley was strong, NEVER gave up & was so positive throughout her battle. I’m proud of my Ashley & thank God for allowing us to spend 13 amazing years w/ her. I never want my Ashley to be forgotten & want you to know that Ashley LOVED life & is STILL making a tremendous impact in our childhood cancer community. Your follow will allow us to reach the general public that is still unaware of #ChildhoodCancer 🎗️ Please join our mission, keep our Ashley’s story alive & fight for justice for those who do not have a voice. 🎗️ 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 𝑀𝒶𝓇𝒾𝑒 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓇𝑒 💜

“I rely on my scans. I shouldn't be ringing up my team begging for my appointments.” Jules was diagnosed in November 2021 with stage 4 lung cancer, which has since spread to her spine and pelvis. As her cancer is incurable, she relies on her three-monthly CT scans to keep her informed about her prognosis. She continues to live life to the fullest, but constantly feels she has to advocate for herself to get the care she needs, leaving her feeling angry and frustrated. “I am living life heightened where I'm so sensitized to my appointments being cancelled, and so anxious that my phone is going to ring with another cancellation. It’s affecting everybody around me; my family, my friends, my son, they're all suffering. I have the disease in my body, but they are on the same journey with me. Governments across the UK needs to listen to us.”
