Let’s Talk About Cancer is being run to highlight the excellent support services available here in the North West and to encourage people to reach out for help if they are encountering difficulties because of cancer. An estimated 2,300 people receive a cancer diagnosis in Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim each year.
“Cancer sometimes only stays a brief time and then thankfully leaves again allowing people to get on with their lives,” says Paul McLoone. “Often however it stays longer causing havoc and upset and never ending worry until it is shown the door but on occasions unfortunately, it only leaves on one specific condition, that you leave with it.

“I am delighted to say that the Irish Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Solace Donegal Cancer Care Centre and the Sligo Cancer Care Centre will all be in attendance. We also wish to extend a special welcome to Cancer Connect NI who will have an information stand in the lobby that day.”
