ADVERTISER CONTENT FROM CANCER RESEARCH UK

We’ve teamed up with Cancer Research UK to raise funds for its fight against the disease and to share and celebrate good news stories happening right now for patients and survivors across the country.

Good news might be receiving positive test results or the moment your hair grows back for the first time after chemo.

Thanks to the charity – which receives no government funding for its research – UK cancer survival has doubled in the last 40 years.

But there is so much that still needs to be done for Cancer Research UK to bring more good news to more people every day.

6. Ogden Nash

As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea,
Or a juggler hates a shove,
As a hostess detests unexpected guests,
That's how much you I love.
~ Ogden Nash
