Sarcoma: The Loneliest Cancer

According to a YouGov poll commissioned by Sarcoma UK, 75% of people do not know or are not sure what sarcoma is. James Read is one of the 25% who does know all too well what sarcoma is. His wife Sarah died in 2018 from osteosarcoma. Sarcoma UK launches its biggest national awareness campaign to date with the release of a major new report entitled The Loneliest Cancer and now need your help to help spread the word. The report gives a frank snapshot of what the current sarcoma landscape looks like in the UK, and reveals how sarcoma and a general lack of awareness around the cancer can have a devastating impact on both patients, their families and friends, from diagnosis through to treatment. With 75% of people not knowing what sarcoma is, Richard Davidson, Chief Executive of Sarcoma UK, believes it’s time for sarcoma to raise its profile. ‘We know the patient journey can be isolating, frightening and traumatic for many. The unfortunate truth is that people only really become aware of what sarcoma is when it touches their life or those in their family. ‘Making both healthcare professionals and the general public more aware of it will help people get a faster diagnosis, obtain better treatment and improve access to any new drugs which will ultimately result in a more positive outcome.’ Find out more sarcoma.org.uk/TheLoneliestCancer
