Together with @brainstrust, we have helped to design a ground-breaking #NHS trial that will offer #Glioblastoma patients radiotherapy before surgery, in the hope that it will reduce the likelihood of the tumours growing back quickly bit.ly/40sVxcO #braintumours
On #WorldCancerDay remembering our beautiful Jake & all those lost to this devastating disease #braintumours need to fund the lesser known cancers as well as the more common types as brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of under 40’s yet woefully underfunded by government
