New findings on cancer survival rates offer hope for the more than 2 million Americans diagnosed each year. Seven out of 10 Americans diagnosed with cancer now survive five years or more, according to the American Cancer Society, a 7 percent increase since the mid-1990s, when the rate stood at 63 percent. The survival rate data - from patients diagnosed with cancer between 2015 and 2021 - showed, significantly, that those with high-mortality cancers and advanced diagnoses had the largest gains.

Rebecca said her daughter was seven when she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, a condition she had "only ever heard of" from a Grey's Anatomy episode. Winifred received intravenous immunoglobulin which was made from donated plasma. Now aged nine, she has recovered and only needs regular check-ups.

If grandparents were an option, we'd already be doing it.'

It arose out of safety concerns in 2022 in relation to the treatment of a number of patients with Spina Bifida who had spinal surgery at CHI at Temple Street. These concerns related to poor clinical outcomes of some complex spinal surgery, including a high incidence of post-operative complications and infections, and two particularly serious surgical incidents, which occurred in July and September 2022.

A report last year found unnecessary surgeries were carried out, cancers were missed and poor standards of care were delivered at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital. CDDTF said it wanted to support the patients it had let down, including by offering access to psychological support, and to ensure they knew how to make a claim or raise concerns with police.

The cancer was fastacting, and if I'd left it even six months, the outcome could have been much worse,

You text your mom friends and gut check with your partner, but you don't think you're being anxious - something might really be wrong.
