Nothing prepares you for how it feels when a doc says ‘cancer’ especially after a test for something completely different But many groups/charities offer support inc how to manage symptoms/side effects impacting daily life @kidneycanceruk is one

[Tracy Holmes @HolmesComms]

Kidney cancer is one of the lesser known/talked about cancers. I was diagnosed and treated early and will be banging on about it this week! Hope you’ll share to raise awareness #kcaw2023

[West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance @WYHCanAlliance]

The theme for #WorldCancerDay is all about recognising inequalities in cancer care and striving to #CloseTheCareGap - something we work hard to do every day.

This week’s leadership message comes from Jason Pawluk, Programme Director for West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance (@WYHCanAlliance): https://t.co/Bn2K9Ry8lB

[West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance @WYHCanAlliance]

Today is #WorldCancerDay - raising awareness of cancer and encouraging its prevention, detection and treatment.
Its primary goal is to reduce illness and death caused by cancer.
This is so important to us and the wider @WYpartnership that we'll be making it a week-long event.

⁦@GillH1973⁩ I don’t know if you use Calm or if meditation is something you like but given your current circumstances I thought you might be able to take something away from this one. Or not, if it’s really not your thing! 😃😘😘
