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 ?

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.

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…

We're so pleased to hear that Phil is well after his lung cancer was caught early by the @CwmTafMorgannwg Lung Health Check pilot. @TenovusCancer is campaigning with @CRUKCymru @UKlungcancer @asthmalungcymru @LessSurvivable & @Roy_Castle_Lung to bring these checks to all of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Phil was invited to take part in the Lung Health Check pilot. This is his story... The pilot, in collaboration with the National Strategic Clinical Network for Cancer, launched last autumn. The evaluation report will be shared soon. @WalesCancerNet @InHealthGroup @tenovuscancer

Yesterday in her statement to @SeneddCymru, @PrifWeinidog committed @WelshGovernment to improving women's health services. Across gynaecological cancers the scale of the challenge is significant. How do we know? @SeneddHealth informed us last year. 🧵1:X senedd.wales/media/5ztjb5fm/…

Earlier this year we produced a Senedd briefing for MSs concerning this work, responding to the unacceptably poor experiences and poor cancer outcomes of women with a gynaecological cancer. 🧵1:3 It's here on our website: tenovuscancercare.org.uk/med…

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
