The Health Secretary in a speech today has specifically raised the issue of lobular breast cancer which accounts for 15% of breast cancers and has stated that she will be encouraging research into this dreadful disease.
This is a huge step forward for the Lobular Moon Shot Project campaign led by Horsham’s Dr Susan Michaelis of which my colleague Dehenna Davison and I are so proud to be part.
Clearly there is still work to be done but I am hugely grateful to Victoria Atkins and her Health Minister colleagues for recognising the importance of securing research into lobular breast cancer.
