Cancer
Care West are hosting two talks in June which may be of interest to cancer
patients and their families.
On
Monday June 11, Mr Eamonn Rogers, Consultant Urological Surgeon is giving a presentation on ‘Coping with
Prostate Cancer’. Over the last year the centre has offered support to men
coping with this diagnosis and it is clear that for some men, this diagnosis
causes ongoing stress. We are delighted that Mr Rogers has agreed to give this
talk which will provide people with an overview of coping with prostate cancer.
We are hoping to set up a support group if people are interested in meeting on
a once per month basis. This talk is free of charge and takes place at 8pm on
Monday June 11 in the Cancer Support Centre at 72 Seamus Quirke Road, Westside,
Galway.
On
Monday June 18, Ms Cathy McCarthy is giving a talk ‘A Cancer Diagnosis – Choose
Your Attitude and Change Your Life’. Cathy was diagnosed with breast cancer in
2007 and has written a book about her journey called ‘Not the Year You Had
Planned’. It is full of practical help and the response of those who have read
has been very positive. It is helpful to both patients and family members. If
you are affected by cancer in any way, you may find this talk interesting. This
talk is free of charge and takes place at 8pm on Monday June 18 in the Cancer
Support Centre at 72 Seamus Quirke Road, Westside, Galway.
