@Sue070601@braintumourrsch So lovely to spend time with you too and good luck with the rest of your challenge. You have done and continue to do so much for @braintumourrsch and the wider @braintumour community. You have been my friend and inspiration for the last 15 years
#BrainTumour patients do not have the luxury of time. The #APPGBT inquiry will provide the pathway and @sajidjavid committed to reading it today. All of the money set aside in 2018 must be deployed. @DerekThomasUK @braintumourrsch
We are thinking of Tom Parker’s loved ones, his bandmates from @thewanted and his fans on the day of his funeral 💛 We remember Tom for his passion, intelligence & determination in the face of such adversity & will continue to remember him as we campaign for change @Being_Kelsey
Shattering news about @TomParker. We don’t have words to express the despair we + the #braintumour community feel at another tragic,premature loss from this disease. Tom would want his legacy to be he made a difference- together we must do that 💔 https://t.co/1hHkIQ9rym

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the deadliest form of childhood #cancer with a median overall survival of between eight and 12 months 💔 Research into #braintumours must not be left behind. Campaign with us ➡️ https://t.co/VBYVJzE1bY #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay
We have joined with other cancer charities to speak with #OneCancerVoice to reinforce calls to protect GP and other services for those worried about symptoms, those who have been referred for diagnostic tests, or are in cancer treatment.
Thank you to @braintumourrsch and all those involved in today's #APPGBT. Sadly more devastating stories about loss and struggles with #braintumours. The fight for better outcomes, treatments, #funding and diagnosis continues.
We've joined 49 cancer #charities writing to @RishiSunak@sajidjavid seeking clarity on workforce funding in the Spending Review. Investment in #cancer workforce is critical to clear the cancer backlog. Read more ➡️https://t.co/YPcLWehzed #OneCancerVoice
“Injecting them into the brain is one way, but this approach would be better because it is effectively non-invasive. You are kind of opening a portal in the blood-brain barrier at the desired site.” Read more ➡️ https://t.co/Q73Oi5c3tE 3/3
In today’s @guardian, Mr Kevin O’Neill, who leads the team at our Centre of Excellence at @imperialcollege, said: “Many therapies that are coming through for brain cancer need a delivery system that not only packages and protects them but directs them to the correct area." 2/3
We are pleased to be sharing the news that a trial using ultrasound could offer hope to #braintumour patients. A technique to temporarily allow drugs & other substances to cross the blood-brain barrier has been developed & could revolutionise the treatment of brain tumours 🔬 1/3
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the deadliest form of childhood #cancer with a median overall survival of between eight and 12 months 💔 Please donate this #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth to help fund the fight against this devastating disease ➡️ https://t.co/Amah09HXDH
Only 14% of UK spend on #braintumour research is from the government. The remaining 86% is from the charity sector. That is why @braintumourrsch campaign for parity of funding. Join us https://t.co/4Ql2ddri8M
@HoCpetitions@DHSCgovuk@JimBethell@NIHRresearch I respectfully suggest @JimBethell that the reason funding applications for brain tumours being rejected may be because to often there are no brain tumour specialists on the selection panels They may be a respected specialist in their own field but know little of brain tumours.
Today is #DIPG Awareness Day. This brain cancer is one of the deadliest forms of childhood #Cancer , with a long-term survival rate of less than 1%. But despite the devastation, there's hope. Read the blog of our expert, professor David Walker.
