This is an ENDEMIC problem & discrimination needs to stop. Patients not being taken seriously or ignored is unacceptable. Huge inequalities for ethic minorities within a system that already had huge inequalities for everyone.

NHS England don’t even mandate different coloured

And while I’m thinking of past breast surgeons: my fabulous second surgeon (when I had cancer) said low risk doesn’t = no risk. If you’ve had an early breast cancer just be aware. x.com/abcdiagnosis/s…

We will honour our Breakthrough Fitness on the walk & it will be an emotional one seeing Silv & Gianna again.

Thank you Ellie for your support & all your family & devoted Aunties ❤️❤️ #abcdretreat

Jo Taylor NHS England The amount of times I’ve had to explain to nurses why I don’t want a PICC or Port (keloids, scarring easily) is very draining. It should be standard, white skin should not be the standard Chidiebere Ibe 𝕏 Hutano

Unacceptable. Woman with signs of metastatic breast cancer (which kills) gets misdiagnosed for asthma. Why shocking? Because as a former patient with primary breast cancer GP should be aware of signs of metastasis and risk. Use infographics to increase awareness ⬇️ NHS England

Here's a link to the fundraiser for any extra donations that you lovely people can support us with. All fund raising goes directly to the work we do advocating for change for #metastaticbreastcancer patients.

1/2 The new forest 92km cycle took place last Saturday with Lauren & Marriane, friends of Connie Johncock, taking part in her memory 'it was VERY hilly & tough as windy. We wore our shirts & were asked by many people about the charity. We kept Connie in our thoughts all the way'

Christine Hodgdon Paolo Tarantino Julia Maués swaggsheila Thank you for this. I was in the ESMO - Eur. Oncology audience in 2023 when Sheila spoke so poignantly. Her speech was the perfect endorsement of the need for, and benefit of, research and equitable drugs access for metastatic breast cancer patients. METUPUK Jo Taylor NI Cancer Trials

Kirstin Spencer Debbie Abrahams MP Dawn Butler MP✊🏾💙 Chloe Smith Novartis M+F Health So so wrong!! I’m glad you persisted but this is the tip of the iceberg - many patients even don’t understand they are being failed - it needs to stop - women are discriminated against & gaslighted - men don’t even take our pain seriously.

Sheila swaggsheila had the best smile. She was a woman of deep, deep faith. She was a veteran, a mom, a clinical trial champion, and she challenged the clinical trial machine to do better. She was a friend and I will miss her. #bcsm
