Jennifer Finch died last week after chronicling her brain cancer struggle. She was 59 and remembered as L7's bassist. The band toured extensively in the 1990s before their final gigs in the late 2000s. Finch had faced breast cancer previously, coming through it in 2015.
Former England football boss Kevin Keegan also died aged 75. He played more than 600 top-flight games, then managed Newcastle and the full England side. Not much has been shared about the specific conditions they faced.
Meantime, NHS records point to wide variation in leukaemia treatment at hospitals up and down the UK. One applicant lost a care job after a standard screening found the condition. Cancer Research UK argues anonymised data sets could push research forward faster in studies.
