Jennifer Finch died last week after opening up about her brain cancer struggle. She was 59 and widely recognised 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 took charge at Newcastle and the full England side. Few details have emerged about the exact illnesses they faced.
In the meantime, NHS records point to stark gaps in leukaemia treatment at trusts across the country. One candidate lost a care job after a routine check found the condition. Cancer Research UK argues de-identified records could push research forward faster in studies.
