This is fantastic news! 🙌🤩

🚨 Breaking science news🚨

A new chemotherapy-free treatment for leukaemia could lead to better outcomes for many people, according to a trial we helped fund.

Led by researchers in Leeds and conducted across 96 cancer centres, the FLAIR trial tested two targeted drugs for people with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), the most common type of leukaemia in adults.

The results are striking. After five years, 94% of people who received both drugs were alive with no progression of the disease, proving the new drug combination is far more effective than standard chemotherapy treatment.

This discovery could pave the way for kinder, more personalised treatments and give people with CLL more precious time with their loved ones.

This is amazing news in the field of leukaemia 🌟

Watch out for fake text messages claiming to be from the Government, inviting you to apply for a new winter fuel payment or energy support scheme. This scam is a repeat of a similar scam in the autumn of 2024. There is no requirement to apply for the payment. Do not give anyone your personal data after receiving a text message.

You can see an example of one of these texts in the image below, please share with anyone who might be affected.
