A Lanarkshire MP, who lost her husband to a rare cancer, has welcomed a charity’s new resource which will help people check for potential early symptoms of the disease.
Marion Fellows, MP for Motherwell and Wishaw, lost her husband of 47 years, George, to sarcoma in September 2018.
Sarcomas are uncommon cancers that can affect any part of the body, on the inside or outside, including the muscle, bone, tendons, blood vessels and fatty tissues. Fifteen people are diagnosed with sarcoma every day in the UK – about 5,300 people a year.
