Delighted as a metastatic breast cancer patient to be co-researcher on 3 breast cancer posters selected by @TheUKIBCS & winner of best poster🏆 at the conference. This is co-production at its best! #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs @NICanReg @QubCancer @QUBelfast @nicancertrials

Today we said goodbye to Jenny, @macmillancancer Experience Panel member since 2023. Small in stature, quiet of voice, but mighty in impact. Even when unwell, she advocated for ovarian cancer awareness & always showed up for Macmillan. Rest easy Jenny, we will miss you 💚

@StuartCan_NI @niassembly @macmillancancer Thank you so much Stuart for your support, I saw you today but sadly didn’t get a chance to chat to you, next time! 😊

@Sarah_Christie5 @reido90 Beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend, RIP David ❤️
