Heulwen was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in 2022. Yesterday, she shared her story and the wider reality facing people with less survivable cancers with ITV.

These cancers receive less than a fifth of government research funding. It's time to #CloseTheResearchGap.

Plenary The Senedd is the democratically elected body that represents the interests of Wales and its people, makes laws for Wales, agrees Welsh taxes and holds the Welsh Government to account.

A 90-second statement on less survivable cancers was led yesterday morning in the Senedd by John Griffiths MS.

These issues often don’t get enough airtime, this one is worth hearing.

This week is Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Week. Five out of the six cancers – brain, liver, oesophageal, pancreatic and stomach – are rare and less common.

Like many rare and less common cancers, the less survivable cancers typically have less investment in research. #CloseTheResearchGap

Huge thanks to @delythjewell.bsky.social MS for hosting yesterday's drop-in event in the Senedd for Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Week.

It's time to #CloseTheResearchGap.

On Tuesday, we held a drop-in event at the Scottish Parliament, kindly sponsored by Jackie Baillie MSP. Our message was clear: while progress has been made, research funding is needed in Scotland to #CloseTheResearchGap.

Thank you to everyone that dropped in and supported the event.

This week is Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Week.

Stomach, oesophageal, liver, pancreatic, lung & brain cancer have an average 5-year survival of just 16%.

We must close the research gap to save lives.

The world's first breath test for pancreatic cancer, led by Professor George Hannah through the Vapour Study could revolutionise earlier diagnosis and save thousands of lives.

Let's #closetheresearchgap to support more pioneering research like this.

Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce We aim to increase the survivability of less survivable cancers to 28% by 2029 in line with the NHS Long Term Plan for Cancer.

I’m supporting Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Week. These cancers receive just 19% of research funding despite causing 40% of all cancer related deaths. This is unacceptable.

We need to #CloseTheResearchGap.

The cancer plan must address the stark disparity in funding We have a long way to go to close the research gap facing less survivable cancers.

£130 less per cancer death. That's the shocking research funding gap for less survivable cancers like lung, liver & pancreas.

As a former NHS nurse, I see the human cost. Our Cancer Plan must close it!
