Will Wes Streeting meet with lobular breast cancer campaigners? bigissue.com/opinion/lobula…

Thank you @GMB for your time this morning in sharing our important message for specific research needed into the basic biology of Lobular Breast cancer. A truly powerful interview @TristanLoraine and tribute to our founder Dr. Susan Michaelis @richardm56 #Lobularbreastcancer💜

Dr Susan Michaelis was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer in 2013 and pushed for further research into the disease. Yesterday, her husband Tristan met with the health secretary Wes Streeting - a meeting Susan had hoped to attend herself before she died.

Last week, I proudly added my name to the growing list of MPs backing the #LobularMoonShotProject, a vital campaign calling for £20 million of urgently needed research into invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). Lobular is the second most common type of breast cancer. It affects…

It is now time for the government to step up and help give lobular breast cancer patients the support and hope they so desperately need. #lobularmoonshot #lobularbreastcancer #lobularmoonshotproject

I want to thank founder Dr Susan Michaelis and her team for their courage and determination in bringing attention to this neglected condition. Their efforts have won support from across the House.

Lobular breast cancer accounts for around 15% of all breast cancer cases, with 22 people diagnosed every day in the UK. Despite this, there are still no specific treatments, and the disease remains critically under-researched and poorly understood.

I was proud to host an event in Parliament yesterday with @lobularmoonshot to call on the government to provide vital research funding for lobular breast cancer. It was great to see so many MPs from across the political spectrum joining us to call for urgent action.

Thank you so much for your continued support as a lead MP and for hosting a very successful drop in event, raising awareness of Lobular breast cancer and the urgent research funding needed for a specific treatment into the basic biology of the disease💜 #lobularbreastcancer

I’ve pledged my support to the @lobularmoonshot Project, which calls for urgent investment into #lobularbreastcancer research. Yesterday, I met with volunteers Sarah and Alison, and heard first-hand the difference this additional funding could make to people across the UK.

Drop-in event at Westminster today for MPs to find out more about the @lobularmoonshot project's call to provide £20million of research funding for research into lobular breast cancer @MCRBreastCentre

Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer is the second most common type of breast cancer in the world and is not a rare cancer, with over 8,500 diagnoses annually in the UK alone. 💜 1 day to go until the parliamentary drop in #LMSP #lobularmoonshot

We must keep up the pressure and provide support for lobular patients across the UK.

Please write to Wes Streeting and to your MP to encourage them to attend the drop-in event. Lobular breast cancer accounts for around 15% of all breast cancers, with 22 people diagnosed every day in the UK. Despite this, there are still no specific treatments.

On the 6th of May, @lobularmoonshot and I are holding a drop-in event in Westminster to call on the government to provide £20 million of research funding, which could save thousands of lives and give hope to families across the country. #lobularmoonshot #lobularbreastcancer
