THE AMAZING MERCIA JENSEN SUPPORTS CANCER RESEARCH UK’S WORLD PARLIAMENTARY WORLD CANCER DAY

My name is Mercia Jensen and I supported Cancer Research UK’s World Parliamentary World Cancer Day event that recently took place at The House of Parliament.

Cancer diagnosis will affect one in two people. The event is to raise awareness the goal is to avoid 20,000 cancer deaths by the year 2040 as well as to promote more financing for the workforce.

Unfortunately, individuals still die every year from cancer.

This is a very personal matter for me since I have survived cancer twice.

Raising cancer awareness is important to me.

Cervical cancer, which I had, is more likely to kill black women in the United States of America.

According to recent study, cancer diagnoses are more likely to be discovered later stage among persons of ethnic heritage in the United Kingdom. It is critical for cancer diagnosis to be identified and recognised at an early stage.

This is a difficult time to acquire a cancer diagnosis since, owing to health and inequalities,  it is  struggle to get an appointment with their GP. Turn some cancer diagnosis more harder to diagnose than others and therefore some people’s cancer diagnosis journey may be a very traumatic as they may experience not being taken seriously by health professionals.
