Cancer Science Degree Or Neuroscience Degree Choice | pls help me decide

I would really like to go to the University Of Nottingham, but I don't know whether to apply for the Cancer Science BSc or the Neuroscience BSc. Can anyone help me decide? I really like both fields of study.

For me, at first, I preferred to take cognitive neuroscience with psychology yet my parents suggested that the course is too specific ( not broad enough for more variety for choices of occupation ) which I kind of agree with so I chose neuroscience at last. I am unsure if this is the same case for neuroscience and cancer science ( cancer science more specifically), but I know these two fields will always increase your learning curve since they aim for more breakthrough and more efficient solutions. Maybe you could choose cancer so you don't have to compete with me hahaha but if you like both subjects that much you should try to find the connection between them that makes you like them both so much and write in on your personal statement. Maybe you can apply for both courses in the UCAS.

I am in the exact same situation which did you end up picking? Im really enjoying genetics in biology at the minute and would like to do something with genetic focus i think, what would you suggest? How did you decide?
