Ms Anna Drynan-Gale:

As we all know, cancer affects people of every age. We have childhood cancers and young adult cancers. It does not have the ability to decide. It is representative across all age groups. The patients whom we actively support through our night nursing service are, on average, 78 years of age but it affects all ages. I could be in a home with a young child one week and in a home with a young parent the next. Sadly, it goes across all age groups.
