Many people don't know that men can get breast cancer. Everyone has breast tissue & can be susceptible to breast cancer. Approx 400 men in the UK get primary breast cancer every year, with 85 going on to get secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. #mensbreastcancerawarenessweek

“I took my shirt off & the doctor said, as a man with an inverted nipple to that degree I will say without a mammogram or biopsy there’s a 98% chance it's cancer.”
David has secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. In the UK it's rare in men, but it still affects 370-400 a year. bcam.make2ndscount.co.uk

Not looking my complete best but me and my daughter alive thanks to the NHS, both of us have had major heart surgeries and wouldn’t be here without it. Now I’m proud to work in the NHS #HappyBirthdayNHS @SteveBarclay @Leic_hospital
Whilst this was going on I had to take my 14month old for her 5th heart surgery. Alone. My husband was not allowed in. 4 hour surgery was 8 hours in the end. Alone and terrified at the delay I did not know if she was alive.
This nurse stuck to the rules!! @BorisJohnson

Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

Just remembering the 13 little souls I have encountered, that haven’t been able to go home with their parents in the 3 years I have had my daughter. My amazing colleagues @PICULeicester made it possible for my diva newborn to become a healthy stroppy toddler. Always grateful
