Great drop-in event at the Senedd yesterday, where we spoke with MSs about the urgent action needed for less survivable cancers in Wales. A huge thanks to @tenovuscancer for their support in organising the event. #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek

Know your symptoms this #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek Some of the most dangerous cancers have some of the most vague symptoms - so it's important to be aware of them. If anything is unusual, see your GP as soon as possible. @LessSurvivable

Gynaecological cancer wait times got worse; despite being a government priority.
Yesterday welsh waiting lists hit 802k. I posted about it. @WillHayCardiff did. And @closhea from my timeline did. Lots going on I know but my timeline on welsh issues still has a focus on constituency names!! Makes you wonder. No criticism. But bad news just accepted now ?

Would happily watch a Black Doves spin off series featuring the female Welsh assassin.

Pleased to have been able to contribute - on behalf of @clairecampaign - to yesterday's intervention. The Women's Health Plan presents a rare opportunity to address the issues raised in the @seneddhealth "Unheard" report in a joined-up way. Diolch, @DelythJewellAM.
🗣️Listen to @DelythJewellAM and @Jeremy_Miles discuss the Women's Health Plan and Claire's Campaign in the Siambr today. We anticipate the Plan's publication in December and to see how it incorporates women's voices to improve outcomes for women with cancer.

I was today years old before I realised that hot water bottles can be dated to within a week of manufacture. Number = year, petal = month, dots = week.
Make sure your hot water bottle is safe before every use. ✔️ Check for signs of wear and tear before use ✔️ Look at the flower symbol on the bottle to show when it was made ❌ Don’t use a hot water bottle more than 2 years old ❌ Never fill a hot water bottle with boiling water.

What are you doing @ASA_UK to tackle this dross? Dystopian.
Some wild stuff on the @WalesOnline mobile app today. If you tap the weird AI photos (don’t do it!), you’re taken to a fake BBC article grifting for crypto. Meanwhile, digital revenue at Reach plc is growing 💰

As today marks #NationalPoetryDay, we wanted to share the work of AWCC member, Mal O’Donnell. His moving poetry anthology documents his personal and poignant experience of cancer 💙 The book will be available at our local shops for a small donation. youtube.com/watch?v=_6mX1A2Q…
