It is crucial that the views and experiences of teenagers and young adults with cancer, their families and expert frontline staff, are included in these conversations to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan and the future of cancer care. @TeenageCancer stands ready to help (2/2)

At @TeenageCancer we are pleased to see @GOVUK has launched a public conversation about the future of the NHS. This comes at a critical time for young people with cancer who already face inequities within a health service under enormous pressure. (1/2)

I had a great time at my first party conference. I particularly enjoyed playing spot the journalist and listening to @wesstreeting talking about his plans to improve the NHS by investing and reforming it. #LabourConference2024

[Kate Collins 🦋 @katecollinsuk.bsky.social @KateCollinsUK]

At @TeenageCancer we know that the long-term underinvestment in the NHS is translating to challenges for young people with cancer to receive the best care and support that they need - and challenges for the skilled teams working hard within the NHS to deliver it.  (1/2)

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

Our response to the King's Speech 🗣
Today's #KingsSpeech marks a positive start to improving health services in England but this must include the needs of young people with cancer.

[Teenage Cancer Trust @TeenageCancer]

Ahead of the King's Speech tomorrow, we want to remind the new Government what actions they need to take to address the unique needs of teenagers & young adults with cancer. Working together, we have the chance to drive change for a generation of young people with cancer 🤝

[Catherine Hancock @CatHan91]

I love this 🤣

What are we calling for the new UK Government to do ❓
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words ‘you have cancer.’ By 2030 that number will be closer to 10. The new government has the chance to drive change for a generation of young people with cancer.
