“This is my moment which wouldn’t be possible without research – laughing on the trampoline with my daughters.” Mei-Ling was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in July 2021.  We want to see #MoreMoments made possible by cancer research. Add yours to our photo wall 👇

@carolyngarritt @Liz_ORiordan Gonna be making a version of this for me and the kids!

@Liz_ORiordan Well it’s nowt to do with breast cancer, but I’m struggling to find my next knitting/crochet project so you could recommend one please. I fancy something to really get my teeth into. X

What would all like to know more about? In a bit of a Twitter rut about what to post

@Jeremy_Hunt Start with IIF, much as I’m keen to decrease the NHS’s carbon footprint, I’ve not got a spare few minutes to change everyone to a greener inhaler. Stripping out needless bureaucrats and meetings about meetings will have more effect decreasing CO2 emissions

4/ Ditch the Stalinist centralism that has given the NHS more targets than any healthcare system in the world: replace national targets with easily accessible data that allows everyone to compare performance (CQC Ofsted style ratings work well).

The NHS has been absent from this leadership campaign, yet after energy bills the biggest issue facing the new Prime Minister will be a looming winter crisis. Judging by the state of ambulance and A&E services over Summer, this Winter will be the toughest ever. A thread…

@Jeremy_Hunt Should have maybe thought about this when you were Health Minister…. But like trying to resurrect ashes that have been scattered in a quagmire of pig excrement

2/ Grant an immediate exemption for doctors to public sector pension rules which are currently forcing them to retire in their fifties in alarming numbers.

Never did I ever…. think I’d get breast cancer…. think I’d run a marathon…. Or dream my girls would see me run one. Privileged to have met an amazing bunch of ladies on the journey so far and so God damn grateful to be alive & run today for @CR_UK #BreastCancerAwareness link👇

@carolyngarritt Whoop! Well done!!

I just ran a marathon! On my own! And, bizarre I know, really enjoyed it. Most excellent atmosphere to do it along the river Thames (Borough to Chiswick and back). Am well chuffed. #virtuallondonmarathon #girlsthatjeff

@Liz_ORiordan @unbounders “Slicing through the patriarchy” ?!

I need your help! I’m doing the finishing touches to my memoir ⁦with @unbounders⁩ + I need a better subtitle ‘The rise and fall of a female surgeon’ feels too much like a bad MP! Suggestions please! Under the Knife by Liz O'Riordan: Unbound unbound.com/books/under-th…

Happy cancerversary to me! Year to the day histology came back as TNBC. 5/12 chemo & bilat mastectomy, ovaries to follow after @LondonMarathon if you can spare £1 for @CR_UK link below & share to hit £2k today🙏. #BreastCancerSurvivor #CancerResearch #Cancer

@LeahFHardy Great news! Complete pathological response is about as good as it gets but totally get that feeling of it not meaning it will never recur x

I’m still processing today’s appointment with my oncologist. She didn’t exactly say I was cured - that would be irresponsible - but she did say that my response to treatment is ‘highly correlated with a cure’. As I say, still processing. But thank you science, and thank you NHS.

@carolyngarritt @CR_UK Yikes!! We should do a training long run, I’m near bushy & Richmond parks x

@GluttonMc @CR_UK 🙌 Wow @GluttonMc you’re doing well so soon after Mx. Yep everything crossed to be ready to run on October 2nd (I’m in the virtual Mara rather than the main race). Stay in touch - we can egg each other on over the next 100 days. Yes it’s in 100 days 😳 x

I'm back doing marathon training after too long away. Here are 10 things that I have learnt about running, and training for, a marathon. #getyouroomphback getyouroomphback.wordpress.com/2022/06/24/run…

@RideLondon what a great day, over £2k raised for @CR_UK riding with the amazing @WaldyWheelers and my training buddy @tanyathornber Heart goes out to those who fell, were injured or worse today 💜

@carolyngarritt Glad you had a positive day today, anniversaries of such major life events are hard x

One of those lovely runs where you move easily & smoothly. They don’t happen often but when they do you feel 🤩Endorphins galore. 7.5 miles, training for the #virtuallondonmarathon 2 years to the day since my mastectomy. Still processing this information. #getyouroomphback

@MailOnline @JuliaBradbury when you had the test post diagnosis did you have any of the 18 SNP mutations this test looks for? The article references a study what is the link please?

Breakthrough for breast cancer as simple saliva test could spot women at a highest risk years earlier, saving thousands of under-50s trib.al/OVxhz0H

What better way to rehydrate after 120km on the bike?! My all time favourite rosé from @WaldyWheelers own vintner @DoranVineyards . Ride pink, think pink, drink pink! @tanyathornber #womenscycling
