'Cancer backlog is here and it's killing us - we're fighting for our lives'

The cancer backlog is here and it's killing us. When Covid hit, people living with secondary cancer were downgraded and the pandemic took priority. As a result of our treatment being paused, people died and they continue to die.

But the truth is, we’ve been being downgraded from the moment our cancer became secondary since long before Covid but the lack of urgency in which we’re currently being treated with is horrifying! I LOVE our NHS. I walk through the hospital to my appointments now and I just feel the urge to HUG some of the staff as they walk by. How can they possibly keep up with this?
