Leiomyosarcoma - LMS Research UK

19/01/2026

Gail Redpath, 53, from Edinburgh is living with Stage 4 terminal cancer after being diagnosed in 2024.

“My first thought is how my daughters are going to survive.
I'm the matriarch of the family. I can't bear the thought of not seeing my daughters marry or have children.
When I got diagnosed, I cleared my wardrobe out so they didn't have to. It was like I was already dead.
I've shut the door on those thoughts or else I'll be pulled down to the depths of depression.”

A massive thank you to Gail for sharing her deeply personal story to raise awareness of Leiomyosarcoma.
Please help Gail with her ambition to raise funds for LMS Research UK by clicking through the link in the article/below. Thank you.

The Rare Cancers Bill has passed its Second Reading in the House of Lords.

This is another important step towards fairer treatment, better data, and stronger services for people with rare and less common cancers like sarcoma.

The Bill now moves to the next stage in the Lords, where it will be looked at in more detail by a committee and debated further before returning to the Commons if any changes are made.

Once both Houses agree on the final version, the Bill can be signed into law.

We’re proud to be part of the effort pushing this forward, and grateful to everyone who’s contacted their MP or shared their story. You are helping to keep rare cancers on the political agenda.

The Rare Cancers Bill is intended to incentivise research and investment into rare cancers, which tend to be more difficult to diagnose and treat than common cancers.

I'm happy to confirm that Delyth Morgan, Baroness Morgan of Drefelin, has registered an interest in speaking in the House of Lords on Friday as part of the debate for the 2nd Reading of my Rare Cancers Bill.

She has been instrumental in raising breast cancer to be a high-profile issue in the UK, not least in her time as the Cheif Executive of Breast Cancer Now.

Many thanks to Baroness Elliott for all the work she is doing to ensure my Bill passes.
