Since her election 33 years ago to this day, @HackneyAbbott has inspired so many people, from across politics. Diane was the UK's first Black female MP and the UK’s first Black woman to ever represent her party at PMQs. Her story is one of determination, courage and pride.👇🏾

3 out of 4 people diagnosed with #advancedbreastcancer will see their lifespans reduced to less than 5 years. We have launched a campaign to sheds light on the injustices and inequality of care that these patients are subjected to. #actABC Be the change bit.ly/ABC_Commit

Today I’m heading to Parliament to hand in a @BreastCancerNow petition demanding change for people like me who are living with #SecondaryBreastCancer. I’m also meeting my MP, @SKinnock to ask for his support in addressing the issues we face. #Unsurvivors youtu.be/jNIWVXP0TSM

Sadly UK will miss out on new adaptive treatments because of the rules of lines of treatment with @NICEComms - you can’t take breaks from the drugs so someone will have to change this policy quick @uk_oncologist @dykeyc @BreastCancerNow @2ndary1st @secondhopeorg @Make2ndsCount – at Diggle, England

In the USA... sadly in the UK we are way behind & we can’t even access herceptin to those who need it 3rd+ line - what do we want in the uk? Improved outcomes or early death? There is an “unmet need” @NICEComms @BreastCancerNow @Roche @GM_Cancer @MattHancock @dykeyc @METUPUKorg

Therapeutic options for patients with #HER2+ #breastcancer have expanded over the last decade, leading to improved outcomes across patient subgroups and transitioning the malignancy to a more chronic disease #bcsm @ndenduluri1 @VCSpecialists @UCLAJCCC ow.ly/YzsY50yrVql

We cancer patients need advise on evidence based therapy - we have someone in #secondarybreastcancer community who is ADVISING patients that they are “cancer free” & seen some alternative “Dr” telling patients “chemo kills” & the NHS have the cure How are you protecting us? – at Diggle, England
