Cancer spreads when not diagnosed.Cancer isn't contagious, covid is. And because of that, hospital beds are getting filled up with covid patients who become immediate priorities which in turn prevents cancer patients from getting the help which help they need. It isn't a case of turning them away for the sake of it.
It isn't lockdown you're up against here, it's Covid. Until that's under control everything else is difficult.
We shouldn't be in this position but we are.
