Jennifer Finch died last week after publicly sharing her brain cancer fight. She was 59 and widely recognised as L7's bassist. The band headlined big tours in the 1990s before their final gigs in the late 2000s. Finch had fought breast cancer earlier, beating the disease in 2015.

Former England football boss Kevin Keegan also passed away aged 75. He played over 600 league games, then took charge at Newcastle and the full England side. Few details have emerged about the precise diagnoses they faced.

Meanwhile, NHS records point to wide variation in leukaemia treatment at trusts across the country. One candidate lost a care job after a regular test found the condition. Cancer Research UK argues anonymised patient records could speed breakthroughs in studies.
