00:00This is a season when our thoughts turn to celebrations with our friends and families.
00:06In the midst of this festive period, I just wanted to ask you to join me today
00:12in finding a special place in your hearts and your minds and prayers
00:17for the hundreds of thousands of people across our United Kingdom
00:21who receive a cancer diagnosis each year
00:25and for the millions more who love and care for them.
00:30I know from my own experience that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming.
00:37Yet I also know that early detection is the key that can transform treatment journeys,
00:44giving invaluable time to medical teams and to their patients the precious gift of hope.
00:52These are gifts we can all help deliver.
00:54Throughout my own cancer journey, I've been profoundly moved by what I can only call
01:02the community of care that surrounds every cancer patient.
01:08The specialists, the nurses, researchers and volunteers who work tirelessly to save and improve lives.
01:15But I have also learned something that troubles me deeply.
01:20At least nine million people in our country are not up to date with the cancer screenings available to them.
01:27That is, at least nine million opportunities for early diagnosis being missed.
01:33The statistics speak with stark clarity.
01:37To take just one example, when bowel cancer is caught at the earliest stage,
01:44around nine in ten people survive for at least five years.
01:49When diagnosed late, that falls to just one in ten.
01:54Early diagnosis quite simply saves lives.
02:00Now, I've heard this message repeatedly during my visits to cancer centres across the country.
02:07I know, too, what a difference it has made in my own case,
02:12enabling me to continue leading a full and active life, even while undergoing treatment.
02:18Indeed, today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis,
02:27effective intervention and adherence to doctors' orders,
02:32my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year.
02:37This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances
02:46that have been made in cancer care in recent years.
02:50Testimony that I hope may give encouragement to the 50% of us
02:56who will be diagnosed with the illness at some point in our lives.
