I was recently diagnosed with cancer. I've had brain surgery to remove 2 x tumours, targeted Gamma Knife radiotherapy to isolate treatment on an additional 18 lesions in my brain, and a week ago, started immunotherapy for my lungs. All of this has been handled through the NHS, some very clever blood tests and a ton of scans and cross checks. I welcome the additional work being done by the NHS and Cancer Research UK to improve the diagnostic and treatment quality of the disease. Very thankful that I happen to live in the UK as I go through this.
