Are you aware that cancer affects 1 in 3 people ? Like us probably not!. We didn’t know and we didn’t dream it would ever happen to us, but it did A member of our family was diagnosed with cancer in July of this year (2009), and ongoing treatment made us aware of the need to improve the existing cancer Centre at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. Howard Web now wants to support the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre Appeal. The Current Appeal for Lingen Davies is to build a new cancer Centre at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital to provide :- • En-Suit facility for the head and neck unit, were patients are treated for cancer of the face, throat or mouth, and spend long periods of time in hospital • A new clinic for the Haematology Department, for patients with Leukaemia, Lymphoma or other malignant blood disorders. - The current facility’s are cramped and more space is desperately needed. • An extension to the Chemotherapy Day Centre - to provide the space to cope with increasing referrals, and to avoid long waiting lists. • A new building is desperately needed to treat local cancer patients. The current Appeal is to raise £3.2m and so far £2.8m has been raised. (Update......2011) The appeal has now reached its target of £3.2m and now funds are being raised to equip the new building, which will commence in August 2011, and completion by the Autumn of 2012.
