Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
Care, treatment and attention are hugely important in terms of overcoming the problem. I say this as one who was challenged and overcame. Funding for research should be provided. The incidence of cancer in this country is far greater today than it was ten or 20 years ago. I cannot even pretend to guess what has gone wrong. This week I attended the funeral of a friend six weeks after they were diagnosed and yesterday evening I received a telephone call from another friend who has also been diagnosed. We all attend funerals of friends who die of cancer and know people who have survived.
