Jennifer Finch died last week after opening up about her brain cancer fight. 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 battled breast cancer before, beating the disease in 2015.
Former England football boss Kevin Keegan also died aged 75. He played hundreds of league matches, then led Newcastle United and the full England side. Little has been made public about the specific conditions they faced.
In the meantime, NHS records point to stark gaps in leukaemia treatment at trusts across the country. One job seeker lost a care job after a routine check found the condition. Cancer Research UK argues anonymised patient records could speed breakthroughs in studies.
