What does cancer grade mean?
How are grade 1, 2 and 3 cancers different from healthy tissue?
Share this with anyone who would find it useful

These photos were taken just hours apart. Mental illness can be invisible. When my friends thought I was at my happiest, I was often on the brink of despair, crippled with depression from my twenties.
I’ve been suicidal twice - both times as a consultant surgeon
Lonely, overwhelmed and scared to admit what I was feeling.
I hid it from friends, colleagues and HR for twenty years. I was embarrassed and ashamed that I didn't want to live. I talked about my mental health for the first time in my memoir 'Under The Knife' because I no longer worked as a doctor and I didn't need to worry about what my patients might say if they found out.
stayingsafe.net/ helped me create a safety plan and got me through the crisis points until I could get proper help.
As a breast cancer patient I found myself overwhelmed with gut-wrenching anxiety, scanxiety, fear of recurrence, survivor's guilt. Why had no-one told me this was part of the collateral damage?
If this is you, ask your breast care nurse if your local cancer centre provides free counselling. I've had it twice and it saved my life. Talk to your GP. I take proudly Citalopram to keep my brain more or less on the straight and narrow
I am no longer ashamed of having a mental illness. I now know that it is not my fault.
Mental health awareness is not just a wave of quotes. Mental health awareness is brutal and not-so-easy on the eye.

Friends! We would like to announce something important. Please read.
As a family, we have sat down and discussed what we should do about the Kittens. Should we keep them or find new homes for them? It was important for everyone in the family to have a say and be listened to.
As much as everyone loves the Kittens, there have been concerns about keeping them. The main concerns were:
1. Affording the ongoing cost
2. The relatively small size of our house
3. The worry about letting them go outside
There have also been concerns about rehoming them:
1. We love them and it’s painful to part with them
2. We don’t want to split them up
3. We know how much it means to all of you to continue sharing their journey
After much discussion we have decided we are going to keep the Kittens with us, but with the proviso that we must build a decent catio for them in the garden. That way, they can go outside safely and have extra space to play.
We have had so many kind people offer help with the cost of the Kittens and we are forever grateful for that. In all honestly, even though we didn’t ask for help, we couldn’t have looked after the Kittens properly without it. But now, we DO need to ask for a bit of help. If you feel able to donate a cup of tea in order to help us build a catio, we would be so thankful. In return, we will do our best to continue to bring you the Kittens’ story, along with mine and Baby Dog’s news of course. If you are not in a position to help, please don’t worry. The link to donate is: buymeacoffee.com/MalcolmTheC…
Thank you for reading this long post. We hope it’s good news for you that #Percy #Cleo and #Ron will be staying with us. BabyDog and I will do our best for them I promise ❤️

📚 EXCITING NEWS!! My third book ‘The Cancer Roadmap: Real Science to Guide Your Treatment Path' with IS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW! 🤩🥰
lnk.to/TheCancerRoadmap
In it, I confront the big cancer truths (and myths), offering clear, evidence-based answers to the following questions -
- What is cancer?
- What causes it?
- Why do some people get it, while others don’t?
- With so much conflicting information now available – who can you really trust for sensible medical advice?
I'll break down the latest research to give the facts you need to make informed treatment decisions that are right for you or your loved one. I share practical steps to reduce the risk of future recurrence, provide definitive answers to common questions and guide you through your cancer journey with confidence and clarity.

UK Tweeps. What is the average waiting time to see a breast surgeon if your GP refers you with a breast lump? When I retired in 2018 it was 2 weeks. Is that still the same?
sue Harcombe retweeted
This is what I live with every day - chronic pain, tight scars and severe cording. Physio helps a bit. Pain killers help a bit. Lifting weights helps a bit.
Multiple ops, 2 full rounds of radiotherapy, one frozen shoulder, permanently restricted movement and power which forced me to retire as a breast surgeon.
The silent collateral damage of breast cancer, well any cancer, would surprise you

NO WHERE in this comment do I talk about taxes. And the policy that I discussed (i will keep private as it was private) was NOT about taxes, or tax rises, it was about something that would be a positive change.
They're not telling you the full truth.
Labour have said they wouldn't put up your taxes. But it's now becoming clear that they have every intention to put them up 👇
