THE 2015 cancer incidence data for England and Wales has been published, showing that more people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before.
Everyone who faces cancer experiences a personal struggle.
With more people being treated for cancer than ever before, NHS professionals are telling us that workloads have never been greater and they worry that this pressure may ultimately impact on patient care.
The fact that cancer waiting-time targets are regularly missed is another warning sign of services struggling to cope.
Macmillan will continue to work closely with NHS partners to support people affected by cancer.
However, action is required at all levels of to ensure we are able to deliver the care that people with cancer need and deserve.
