The NHS saved my life.
I’ve spent the last 17 years navigating it with a brain tumour.
This week showed me, yet again, how often patients are expected to join the dots.

When the cleaner decides to knock something up to make all the staff smile! So talented. Methinks he’s in the wrong job!

Yesterday, we launched new 'wobble rooms' for staff who need a quiet space to share worries, verbalise emotion or just sit quietly.
These rooms are part of our staff wellbeing package - which includes 24/7 mental health support and weekly care bundles for all teams.

“In 2009, I was given a 10-year prognosis for my brain tumour. I never thought I’d have kids, get married or have a career, so I'm feeling lucky that I’m now expecting my first baby.” Thanks to Catherine for sharing her #CancerRightNow. Tell us your story: po.st/mNcISm

Here is my response to the sensationalist 'There's going to be a cure for cancer within a year' articles. I hope it counters some of the misinformation and hype. I am angry. If you like it, please share to attempt to undo some of the damage.

This closing year, we’ve prioritised improving our understanding of brain tumours. That’s why brain tumour research made it into our 5 biggest cancer news stories from 2018, and will remain a focus for the future: po.st/05FiRM
