Is there anyone out there who is doing / has done REALLY strenuous exercise (by which I mean MAX effort / racing) while on herceptin? I'd like to compare notes. #exerciseoncology #breastcancer #HER2 #herceptin #HER2positive

Do you know someone who is suffering with cancer and has been denied potentially life saving/extending treatment because it has yet to receive NICE approval, despite success rates? Am writing thoughtful feature for national newspaper. Please do get in touch #journorequest

I've said it before and I'll say it again, EXERCISE DURING CANCER TREATMENT ISN'T JUST POSSIBLE, IT'S ESSENTIAL! exerciseregister.org/blog/po…

Exercise isn’t a chore. It’s giving your body what it needs to help keep you physically and mentally strong. Your body is amazing! @Liz_ORiordan

We're proud to have funded the research that has led to Wales adopting HPV testing, and are urging women not to ignore their cervical screening appointments: goo.gl/imYnEf

If you are going through #cancertreatment as a single person then you are not alone. Let’s face it, a significant proportion of the population is single and it’s not as if #cancer only chooses those with a partner. Have a read of Janet’s #guestblog tickingoffbreastcancer.com/g…

On International Women's Day I'd like to pay tribute to my amazing, all-female medical team. Take a bow, surgeon @IzzyDash1, oncologist Theresa Howe and all the fabulous nurses. Also to my rowing-through-chemo team, @Liz_ORiordan, @HeleneRaynsford and all the women in my squad 🙏

Come on Matt. How many times do we need to go over this. If someone dies from cancer they have not ‘lost their battle’. This language is so so unhelpful.

On #WorldCancerDay we remember those who have sadly lost their battle against cancer, as well as those who do so much to help others fight on. Thank you to all the brilliant campaigners, researchers, families, & friends who do so much all year round to help us #StandUpToCancer

Having a breast cancer diagnosis, and going through treatment, causes trauma. Not just to your body, but to your mind too. Have a self-care January and find wellbeing tips in our self-care toolkit.  breastcancercare.org.uk/info…

Great piece in today’s Telegraph about exercise and cancer. Can’t say it often enough: you CAN and SHOULD exercise (within your limits and when you’re feeling up to it, OF COURSE), during and after cancer treatment 😬💪🏻 🚣‍♂️💉 #exerciseoncology

'Thudding along a dusty towpath, breathless and sweaty, I looked down at my own feet, clad in battered trainers, and felt euphoric. Somehow – magically, miraculously – I was running.' In @Telegraph today! Thanks @abcdiagnosis @SimonMDLord @Liz_ORiordan telegraph.co.uk/health-fitne…

As part of #bcam I’ve made a snapshot film with @BCCare of #secondarybreastcancer patients talking about how they feel. This isn’t to scare you. It’s a call to arms. Pls help campaign for better support/donate towards vital research. Film 👉🏻facebook.com/tickingoffcance… Thread 1/3...
