Tom said: “It is extremely important to show support for secondary breast cancer patients. It is shocking we still don’t have accurate data on those living with the incurable disease and this must be made a priority. So, I am calling on the Government to do more to support people affected by the disease.”
Tom has written to local health providers asking for confirmation that statistics are being collected and acted on locally.
Danni Manzi, Head of Policy & Campaigns at Breast Cancer Care, said: “We are extremely grateful to Tom for coming along to our event and showing his support. Only when we have the full picture about the numbers living with the disease can we make informed decisions to ensure care services are planned effectively and that everyone affected by secondary breast cancer gets the support they need from day one.”
