Milestones

My dad developed kidney cancer during lockdown. After having his left kidney removed, we were told that chemotherapy wouldn’t be needed because the cancer was to be gone with the kidney. Just a few weeks later, nodules were found on his lungs. He collapsed and we found it had spread to the brain.

I want to try and implement that all cancer or potential cancer patients are offered a 3 monthly MRI that covers head to toe. At the moment they usually do from neck down or just wherever the cancer is. If my dad had undergone a head to toe MRI his brain tumour could have been picked up early enough to be able to have treatment. I don't want other families go through what we had to. From the day we found out there was nothing else that could be done we only had 3 weeks with him.
