By 2040 6.3 million new cancer cases are expected in England. In the 1970s, someone was diagnosed with cancer every four minutes. By 2040, it’s projected to be every two minutes – around 1,110 people a day.

This is why we are supporting One Cancer Voice

Waiting is an inevitable part of the journey with a brain tumour, but it’s more than passing time. It’s an opportunity to rebuild your identity, confidently assert yourself, and acquire the skills and knowledge to manage interactions and expectations.
