A leading cancer charity says patients are living through the 'worst possible Groundhog day' - as they continue to struggle during the covid-19 pandemic.
In Northern Ireland, some trusts say they have had no other option but to cancel urgent cancer surgery.
Just under 300 people in the region have had their surgery cancelled in the past week according to the Royal College of Surgeons.
And all of them have what's called "red flag" status or the most serious of cases.
Macmillan Cancer says new figures show those battling the disease - are now more worried about how delays to their treatment will impact their chance of survival, than they were following the first peak.
