It’s important to us that the patient voice, and the voice of loved ones and carers, is heard and valued. By listening to our patients, and their cancer stories and treatment experiences, we can better understand and continually improve for our patients.

Your story

We want to hear your stories and share these with other patients. Whether it’s writing a blog for our Iconic Community, or simply sharing a message of hope to our social channels, you’ll be helping support other patients and their loved ones – because no one should ever feel alone.
