New research reveals it could take over 10 years to tackle the cancer care backlog. This is far too long - Please email your MP using this link and urge them to act. Share this tweet and urge others to get behind the campaign. Cancer can become life threatening in a matter of weeks. 

We need to ensure funding gets to frontline cancer services and patients get the lifesaving care they need.

The #CatchUpWithCancer is today highlighting new analysis from the thinktank IPPR. They warn 19,500 missing cancer diagnoses due to missed referrals and it could take until 2033 to clear the treatment backlog in England without urgent action. And call for politicians of all parties to sign a new cancer pledge. Many cancer patients will be diagnosed too late and everyone of them is a tragedy.
