Great to see government taking up the critical needs in cancer research and care. Thanks @DrScottArthurMP and @PancreaticCanUK.
Thank you @DrScottArthur for championing the voices of cancer patients & survivors & your work on the #RareCancersBill. We're excited to see what difference this Bill can make for cancers which aren't in the top 4 most common but are less survivable, such as #PancreaticCancer.
