A man who is living with an incurable blood cancer is urging people to be aware of the symptoms. Dave Carson, 70, has joined a campaign to highlight the condition and prevent long waits in diagnosis.
The cancer affects more than 24,000 people in the UK and causes 3,000 deaths every year. Dave, who is from Kettering and has been treated at Kettering General Hospital, has multiple Myeloma, a cancer that can affect the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs.
Dave, a father-of-two, was diagnosed in 2020 and there is currently no cure. He has teamed up with Myeloma UK for National Myeloma Awareness Week, which runs until Sunday, June 2.
