Behind these numbers are tens of thousands of women living with incurable cancer, which we know can impact every part of your life - not just your physical and mental health, but your job, finances, and relationships with friends and family.

People waiting for cancer treatment aren’t just a number on a waiting list.
Delays can mean more uncertainty, anxiety and, in some cases, fewer treatment options.
We need urgent action to improve the whole cancer experience, so people get the care and support they need, when they need it.

Congratulations @SharonHodgsonMP on her appointment as the new Minister for Public Health and Prevention.

We look forward to working together to make the National Cancer Plan for England a reality and improve the lives of the growing number of people who are diagnosed with cancer in the UK.

It has been a privilege to work with @AshleyDalton_MP. She brought an invaluable depth of lived experience that helped ensure the realities of people living with cancer are reflected at the heart of the National Cancer Plan for England.

Sending our best wishes ahead of treatment.

We would like to wish everyone who is celebrating, peace and happiness this Lunar New Year 💚

Last night, four Macmillan Nurses attended a special reception honouring carers at Windsor Castle, hosted by Their Majesties The King and The Queen.

We’re incredibly proud of Caitlin, Joyce, Helene and Baljit – and of all the nearly 12,000 Macmillan professionals who support people living with cancer every day 💚

This morning on @BBCBreakfast, Macmillan's Chief Partnerships Officer,
Steven McIntosh, spoke about the new National Cancer Plan for England.
Almost 3.5m people are living with cancer in the UK, and someone is diagnosed every 75 seconds. Yet too many still aren’t getting the care ing on who they are or where they live.

The Plan has the right ambition. Now we need to see it deliver with the NHS, charities, communities working together, with Macmillan ready to play its part. It’s not just about living longer, it’s about living well.

A message from The Princess of Wales on World Cancer Day #WorldCancerDay

This #WorldCancerDay, @wesstreeting and the @DHSCgovuk launched a new National Cancer Plan for England. Now that someone is diagnosed with cancer at least every 75 seconds around the UK, this marks a major opportunity to improve lives and transform cancer care over the next decade.

gov.uk/government/pub…

We’re committed to making cancer care the best it can be for everyone, no matter who they are or where they live. We worked closely with communities and partners across England to ensure that it focused on improving patients’ experiences, and addresses the unacceptable inequalities in cancer care.

We’re now ready to play our part in making the ambitions of this plan a reality for everyone.
