‘Billie The Brave' was diagnosed with ALL in November 2022. Since then, she’s endured five rounds of chemotherapy and is unable to talk after one round paralysed her vocal cords. But her family say her “superhuman fighting spirit” is inspirational. 🧡

Fantastic to hear that MPs have voted in favour of increasing the age of sale of tobacco. Smoking can cause at least 15 different types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), which is why we're proud to support Cancer Research UK Policy's campaign.🚭

Brilliant news for the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-cell ALL) in children and young adults! However, more needs to be done to ensure this drug can be accessed by all, and to explore whether it should become available at diagnosis (not just after relapse).

Great to hear that so many cancer patients have had early access to new treatments, including CAR-T therapy to treat leukaemia. In our manifesto, we call on the next government to do more to ensure all eligible patients in the UK can access this treatment.

🎉 Incredible to see Medical Research Council funding £2.3m to researchers Cardiff University to pioneer AML treatment – the leukaemia type with a shockingly low five-year survival.

We hope to see more research funding like this to save & improve the lives of leukaemia patients
