UCAN is an organisation which does a terrific job helping urological cancer patients at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. I spoke to the organisation's director, Kenny Anderson, who recovered from prostate cancer after being treated at the centre in 2018. And to one of the specialist nurses, Linda Pennet, who has worked for NHS Grampian for more than 50 years. Please read and share if you can. Thanks! #UCAN #NHSGrampian #KennyAnderson #JimLeighton #GeorgeYule https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6548989/ucan-cancer-charity-appeal-aberdeen-royal-infirmary/
