💬 "I had to fight to stay alive." Kelly Watson, 43, from East Yorkshire, faced more than three months of delays before finally receiving a diagnosis and treatment for head and neck cancer. Today, she's sharing her story to raise awareness of the "postcode lottery" in cancer care and the emotional toll of waiting for vital treatment. 🗣️ "I want future patients to get good care, no matter who they are or where they live. Cancer care shouldn’t depend on your postcode. If we don’t speak up, nothing will change." Kelly’s battle with head and neck cancer highlights the urgent need for timely, consistent care across the NHS. Despite the delays, she’s thankful for her family, the medical team who treated her, and charities like Oracle Voices and Young Tongues, who supported her through her journey. We need to ensure every cancer patient receives the right care, at the right time, no matter where they are in the UK.
