When metastatic breast cancer patients tell us they feel let down, we have to recognise that they are being let down, and I want to pay tribute to Tassia and all those who campaign on behalf of patients past and present. But the key thing to remember here is that there will be future patients too, and it's because of them that the campaigners campaign. That is why they petition. That is why they feel let down by the current response of Welsh Government. We know what the asks are, we know the need for those key nurse roles, and we know that Welsh Government has to act now to give future patients the chance for the best treatment possible and the best chance of survival.
