Sunday was International Mens’ Day, a significant day to acknowledge some of the issues men and boys face. Prostate cancer is one of them. As Chair of the APPG on Cancer, it is essential to me that men can receive the appropriate support and treatment. I welcome this funding.

I would like to wish King Charles a speedy and healthy recovery after the upsetting news of his diagnosis. As Chair of the APPG for Cancer, I applaud His Majesty for raising awareness about a disease that affects so many.

Today is #WorldCancerDay and Teenage Cancer Trust have released new research showing just 17% of 13-24 year olds know all five of the main warning signs of cancer in young people. I stand in support with Teenage Cancer Trust's urge to raise awareness about these symptoms.

It’s #WorldCancerDay. Know what is normal for you. Get to know your body and be aware of any new or concerning changes. If something in your body doesn’t feel right, and you’re worried it could be cancer, contact your GP practice. Read about symptoms ➡️ nhs.uk/cancersymptoms

The less survivable cancers can have vague symptoms that are not at all well known. Take some time today to learn some of these signs and share with your networks, and if you notice anything unusual, see a GP as soon as possible. #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay

The @APPGC is sad to learn of the death of our Vice-Chair Baroness Masham. Our sincere condolences go out to her family and friends at this sad time. She was a committed advocate for those living with cancer and will be sorely missed.


Do you have a child (aged under 27) or are you a young person (aged 18 to 26), who has experience of cancer treatment and care in the past two years? If so, @YLvsCancer want to hear from you about the costs of travelling for treatment. Complete the survey bit.ly/3I9hTJd

🌎 Today is #worldcancerday + I’m launching my #VATBurn campaign. ❌ sunscreen products are not luxury goods ✅ They’re a preventative healthcare product. 💷 So they should be VAT exempt like paracetamol is. 🗣️ Debate: Thursday 9th @ 3pm in Westminster Hall.


Today is Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day. The APPG on Cancer is supporting @LessSurvivable Find out more information on their website here: lesssurvivablecancers.org.uk #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay
