The Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust is now running its cancer service seven days a week - and the expansion means it's easier for patients like Hunain Haider to manage their "hidden disability".
The Trust has expanded its day treatment service at the Freeman to help the rising demand for cancer care - something that has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Previously, it ran Monday to Friday - seeing around 60 patients each day for treatments such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and in 2021 the service delivered more than 18,000 appointments to 3,000 patients.
