Congratulations to Ian Rutherford from our car parking team, who won the 'Act with Kindness' award at our colleague awards a couple of weeks ago. 🏆

Ian was nominated by Heather Harrison, whose dad is a patient here. From helping them park after a long journey to checking in after every visit. Ian’s kindness has made a real difference.

Watch Channel 4 at 10pm on Thursday 4 December to find out about ground-breaking cancer research happening right here at The Christie.

Professor Caroline Dive is the director of the Cancer Research UK Biomarker Centre, which is based at our Withington site.

She and her team of experts from Cancer Research UK, The University of Manchester and The Christie are developing innovative blood tests to detect cancer, looking for tiny fragments of cancer DNA in the blood that give them a lot of information about how and when to treat it.

Through her work, we meet mechanic Lee, who is being treated for cancer of unknown primary at The Christie. Doctors can’t find where his cancer started. Could Caroline’s pioneering blood tests help? And Damian hopes to join a trial to test if his recent skin cancer could be coming back, so he can move on with family life.

You can also stream ‘Cancer Detectives: Finding the Cures’ now on Channel 4. Link is in the comments. 👇

50-year-old Matt Flukes recently marked the 8th anniversary of being diagnosed with blood cancer.

“I'd been having tests for quite a while, but never really thought it would be cancer," he says of his diagnosis. "It was a massive shock, especially as I was initially told I could only have four years to live,” he says. “My whole world was turned upside down.”

Matt had chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant using his own cells.

“Treatment took its toll on me. I was hospitalised during chemo and had to be in isolation for five weeks after my stem cell transplant. Thankfully, it was all successful, and I haven’t had to have treatment for the last couple of years. I’m back at work and living my life to the full.”

Matt, who lives in Greater Manchester and has been with his husband Rich for 30 years, now celebrates two special dates each year – the day of his diagnosis and his ‘rebirth day’, when he had his stem cell transplant.

“Those two dates are incredibly important to me as they’re a reminder of both what I’ve overcome and how far I’ve come,” Matt adds.

Nearly 6,000 people have now signed up to our online portal, MyChristie. 😍

It gives patients quick and easy access to medical information at The Christie – anytime, anywhere, on any device.

Patients can check most upcoming appointments, view clinical letters, and update their care teams using online health questionnaires.

Bloods Closer to Home, radiotherapy, and radiology appointments are all being added to the portal in the coming months.

Paul Mills from Warrington has been using the portal since it launched in September. He was shown how to use it by Oladipo Oni, one of our digital trainers.

"I think MyChristie is really useful, and I know it will be helpful going forward to keep appointments and my health history in one place. It was great to have someone to show me how to use it," he says.

The patient portal is part of Future Christie, our 10-year transformation programme designed to make care more personal, joined-up and efficient, while keeping the same compassionate touch that The Christie is known for.

Congratulations to our radiotherapy clinical trials team, who are celebrating a double award win. The team was named both 'North West Radiography Team of the Year' and 'UK Radiography Team of the Year' by The Society and College of Radiographers.🏆

This national recognition celebrates the team's dedication to improving patient experience and access to clinical research.

Over the past year, they have transformed how patients can take part in radiotherapy trials at our network of local radiotherapy treatment centres in Oldham, Salford and Macclesfield, allowing many to join studies closer to home.

"The team was so pleased to win this award as recognition of our efforts to enhance patients' experiences with radiotherapy," said Principal Radiographer Julie Webb.

"To be acknowledged by our radiography colleagues makes us incredibly proud. The whole team is passionate about delivering high-quality care."

The team is developing a new patient dashboard for radiotherapy trials to help patients find studies across the North West. 💙

“No one knows what the future holds, but I’m just celebrating where I am now. Thanks to advances in treatment and care, I’m living a very full life, and I feel very lucky”.

Sharon Withington, a 55-year-old PE teacher from Stockport, is currently cancer-free after being treated for advanced ovarian cancer at The Christie.

Sharon first noticed a slightly swollen tummy in April of last year, but it wasn’t until a few months later, when she started having bladder problems, that she went to her GP.

She was referred to her local hospital for tests and was told that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer - the most advanced kind. Her main tumour was 17cm long.

Her treatment at The Christie has included chemotherapy, immunotherapy and a 12-hour operation where she had a full hysterectomy. Her abdomen was then filled with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) – a type of heated chemotherapy – to kill any cancer that remained unseen.

Despite being diagnosed at stage 4 – the latest stage when cancer can be diagnosed – recent scans have shown Sharon is now cancer-free but will remain on treatment for the rest of her life.

“When they told me that I was cancer-free, my jaw dropped to the floor. Someone had to bring me a glass of water as I was that shocked.

“My first couple of sessions of chemo were a bit rough, but I’ve tolerated the rest of my treatment quite well. I don’t get any real side effects from the immunotherapy and am back at work.

“Everyone at The Christie has been amazing, they couldn’t do enough for you. On the day I got told there was no evidence of cancer in my body, I actually bumped into one of the nurses who looked after me when I fainted during one of my first chemo sessions. It was a lovely, full-circle moment,” she says.
