Chloe Hunt was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2010. She describes the challenges she faced adapting to a ‘new normal’ both during and after treatment, and how she overcame them.
This year, a new cancer statistics report for children, teenagers and young adults was published. This is the first report for almost a decade covering the whole of the UK and the first that covers both children’s and teenage and young adult cancers. With input from CCLG professional members, the report was shared at our Winter Meeting in February, and will help us to understand progress in the management of these cancers. Here are some key figures from the report:
Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham and CCLG member, talks to us about her work
