'I have incurable cancer – Labour pledged 1 thing but still hasn't delivered' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Googling "How much ash is produced from burning a dead body?" isn't something I ever thought I'd do. And it wasn't something I'd even considered until earlier this year, when I was thinking through a solution to a travel insurance problem. The problem is that, as someone with incurable bowel cancer, a lot of insurance companies don't want me as a customer unless I've been told when I'm going to die. This is despite the fact that no one knows exactly when they will die – frankly, we aren't fitted
'NHS must learn 1 thing about cancer patients – Big Ben helped me reach clarity' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the hammer struck Big Ben at 9am I was mesmerised. It was a sound I'd heard from the ground thousands of times over the years, but to be there right in front of it was something else. Holding on to a metal girder, as well as hearing the sound, I felt the vibrations through my body and it made me feel an incredible connection to the past. In a world that is becoming increasingly taken over by technology and AI, it was amazing to know that the Victorian workmanship and engineering was still bei
'Battling incurable cancer has shown me the NHS needs common sense injection' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Having a heart attack wasn't in my plan for my mid-40s, but it almost happened when I called my hospital. It's something I've done countless times over the three years I've been fighting incurable bowel cancer. But this call was very different. The usual situation is that the phone rings and rings and no one picks up, so you try again later. Then it rings and rings, and no one picks up again. Then it rings and rings, and then you give up on getting through. An alternative situation is that the n
Mother with motor neurone disease dedicates her final days to fundraising effort (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A mother whose motor neurone disease symptoms were initially thought to be caused by grief is determined to leave a lasting legacy after she dies. Sharon Thody endured unimaginable heartbreak when her son Samuel was stillborn in 1998. And then, in March 2024, her son Craig died, aged just 33. She began losing her voice 16 months after Craig’s death, and doctors believed this was due to the trauma and grief she was experiencing and referred her for speech therapy. But she felt something was serio
'NHS leaving cancer patients to 'do whatever' with potentially lethal drug' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Naively, I used to think that treating illnesses was a bit like an episode of Great British Bake Off. I thought it was a world where you had to follow the prescription details as closely as you would follow a Nigella Lawson recipe for a choux bun, or you'd risk the chastisement of Paul Hollywood. This was certainly the case when I was a child. Back then, if I had tonsillitis, my parents would follow the prescribed dosage of antibiotics given to me by a GP, because they'd trained for years and kn
