Good news on #WorldCancerDay! Despite high rates of people developing cancer in our region, patients here are living longer than ever after a diagnosis. And stats show they are surviving cancer for 5+ years at a higher rate than England's average for the first time. See 👉 //tinyurl.com/4vmawb9c

Today marks the end of my fund-raising walk for Prostae Cancer UK. We notched up £700 and covered over 60 miles. I’m very grateful to all who made donations to this worthy cause. runthemonthme.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/...

We are super-excited about arrival of our new Varian Halcyon with Hypersight linac, part of our extensive fleet of advanced radiotherapy machines. It is now being prepared for service and will begin treating patients this spring.

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust along with many others including Roma, disabled and gay people. We stand together against hatred and prejudice. #HolocaustMemorialDay

CCC patients will soon be able to join a pioneering cancer vaccine clinical trial. Lung cancer patients who qualify will be able to join the NEOVACC study. See 👉 www.clatterbridgecc.nhs.uk/about-us/new...

prostatecanceruk.org/risk-checker... I ignored the early signs of my prostate cancer and was lucky to have it diagnosed while it was still treatable. So I urge men, especially over 50s, to click on this link and check out their risk. Early diagnosis means better outcome.

Excellent Venns this week.

Watch our new video guide to having radiotherapy for breast cancer. Funded by @clatterbridgecc.bsky.social, it explains what to expect before, during and after radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer. Full story: orlo.uk/fQIyI Watch the video: youtu.be/ox6GtOBTCGM?...

And so we move into the next phase of reality’s Squid Game: the end of fact-checking. From now on, what happened, what you think happened, and what you wanted to have happened, are all of equal value. Other than people getting killed, what could possibly go wrong? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A Clatterbridge patient has featured in an NHS announcement on improved cancer diagnosis. New data shows nearly 3 in 5 patients are now being diagnosed at stages 1 or 2, when the cancer is easier to treat. The story highlights our patient, Paul. See www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The first patient has been signed up to a new clinical trial at Clatterbridge studying how different forms of radiotherapy affect oesophageal cancer. The PROTIEUS trial compares photon and proton chemoradiation, followed by immunotherapy. #oncsky #cansky www.clatterbridgecc.nhs.uk/about-us/new...

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them. Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed. #bbcqt

There's public support for assisted dying so it may have happened sooner or later. But if it happens now I think Kim Leadbeater will be able to claim much personal credit.
