If your cancer treatment or diagnosis, or that of a loved one, has been delayed, please consider sharing your story with the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign - using this like - as we continue to push for urgent action as the crisis in cancer care worsens.

We started the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign after we lost our daughter Kelly when her treatment for bowel cancer was stopped in the first wave of COVID. Unfortunately, over the last two years we have seen the tragedy that hit our family happen time and time again. Since we shared Kelly’s story, so many people have reached out to us to say they too have been tragically impacted by the disruption to cancer care.

If you, or a loved one, are one the tens of thousands of patients estimated to be impacted by delays to your care treatment or diagnosis, please consider sharing your story with us. You can do so anonymously if you would prefer. Your story is very important, and each story makes the voice of #CatchUpWithCancer even louder. We need your help to make politicians understand the reality of the record waiting lists in cancer care and why we so desperately need them to act urgently to prevent further harm and loss.

We are at a critical point of the crisis in cancer care. According to a recent report from the Parliamentary Health and Social Care Committee, cancer survival rates could go into reverse if the crisis is not properly addressed. Your support is greatly appreciated as we continue to campaign to prevent needless tragedy.

Please consider supporting by doing one of the following:

• Sharing your story with us and strengthening the voice of cancer patients and their families impacted by the COVID induced cancer backlog. Use this link to find out more and share your experience
•  Asking your friends and family to sign our petition by sharing the following petition link

Thank you for your continued support of our campaign.
