About #CatchUpWithCancer
1 in 4 people will need radiotherapy at some point in their life. Not everyone receives the best treatment for their cancer because advanced radiotherapy techniques are currently restricted. Research shows that nearly 24,000 patients are missing out on vital radiotherapy every year. This needs to change. We are campaigning for increased funding and better organisation of radiotherapy. Support our campaign by emailing your MP - this letter will ask them to ensure that every patient gets the best radiotherapy treatment for their cancer, no matter where they live.
