Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. I have agreed to give a minute of my time to Joel James. My short debate this afternoon will focus on living with cancer. 

We all know the stats: one in two of us will develop cancer at some point in our lifetime. Cancer used to be a certain death sentence, but thankfully more and more people are surviving cancer. Across the UK, over 3 million people are still alive at least five years after receiving a cancer diagnosis. In Wales, 70,000 men and 90,000 women are living with cancer, and the total numbers are expected to rise to 0.25 million by the end of this decade.

It's widely acknowledged that much of our success against cancer is thanks to earlier diagnosis. However, regardless of the advances in screening and treatments, a cancer diagnosis can have life-altering consequences—consequences such as health issues that develop during treatment and can have a lasting impact even five years after finishing treatment.
