"The most meaningful thing was meeting people I could connect with…I could say how I really felt - which was often that cancer felt very unfair. It allowed me to get everything out that was inside me. From that point of view, I think it's probably the time where I felt most listened to." A cancer diagnosis and treatment can be both physically and emotionally challenging. The Wellbeing Space at The Christie Private Care supports people during and after their cancer treatment, providing expert led advice in a calm, supportive environment where people can reflect and connect. Jemma shares how The Wellbeing Space is helping her feel heard and supported. 🔗Hear more from Jemma here https://lnkd.in/eBNDPEM8 #HCAHealthcareUK #HCAUK #CancerCare #CancerSupport

📣 Medical First 📣 We’re the first independent healthcare provider to offer breakthrough bispecific antibody therapy for people with lung cancer. Bispecific antibody therapy, also known as bispecific T-cell engager therapy, is a groundbreaking type of immunotherapy treatment that uses specially manufactured antibodies to engage T-cells so they can target cancer cells. We’ve previously used this treatment to treat blood cancers, but this is the first time it’s being used to treat solid tumours, specifically people living with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The treatment is available across our network of Leaders of Oncology Care sites, with the first patient treated at The Harborne Hospital in Birmingham. Dr Shobhit Baijal, Consultant Medical Oncologist says: “This milestone represents a significant breakthrough in our ability to treat patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer and we’re proud to have treated HCA UK’s first patient here at The Harborne Hospital . This bispecific T-cell engager therapy represents the next generation of immunotherapy, building on the success of monoclonal antibodies and harnessing the natural defences of the immune system in a more targeted way than ever before.” Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eDyuVZu2 📸 L-R Steph Anslow, Senior Staff Nurse, Dr Shobhit Baijal Consultant Medical Oncologist, valentine chipato Senior Staff Nurse and Bal Gill Clinical Nurse Specialist.
