I was diagnosed 7 yrs ago today & now see myself as a #cancer survivor, rather than patient 😊 Am one of the lucky ones & today think of those less fortunate, who are sadly no longer with us 😥 Life's not easy at times but we only have one, so make the most of it 👊 #CarpeDiem

Our next partners support group takes place next week in our support centre in galway

My happy place 😊 #CarpeDiem

Part of problem is low uptake of Public-Only Consultant Contract, resulting in continued practice of treating private patients using public facilities & time. As long as this continues, waiting lists & capacity issues will remain. Follow @HSEMidWest IHCA rte.ie/news/health/20…

I'll let the pics do the talking..... #CarpeDiem

Heading into another week, was reminded earlier how well I'm doing & how fortunate I am. Wasn't always like that though. Was a time when I struggled badly & feared the worst. If that's you, dig deep & know you're a lot stronger than you think. You got this 👊 #CancerAwareness

Been a long few days away, but when you've this waiting for you.... makes the wait worthwhile 🤗 #CarpeDiem

It's a privilige to be able to use my lived experience to help the very people who've helped & cared for me throughout the years. #Cancercare in the community has seen significant progrees over the years & yesterday's launch was another step in that journey. #Cancer #PatientCare

John Wall is an ambassador & friend to the Foundation for many years supporting #StandUpForYourProstate He hopes that by telling his story not only will vital awareness be created, but also that hope will be offered to those who find it difficult to find. surviveandthrive.ie/cancer-stories…

I hope that by having conversations like this, it normalises discussions around mens health in general. For far too long, we've been far too quiet... well...maybe not me, but you know what I mean 😏 #MensHealth #ProstateCancer #CancerAwareness open.spotify.com/episode/2VU5hA…

September Sunset 🤗 #CarpeDiem

Thank you so much Ireland AM for highlighting #ProstateCancerAwareness month with our Director of Nursing Helen and brilliant ambassador Gerry Kelly. If you missed it, we recommend watching it back on Virgin Player & sharing it with anyone with a Prostate you know over 40!

The National Cancer strategy has been underfunded by €180M leaving cancer patients waiting for tests, treatments & supports needed after cancer. Budget '25 must prioritise the National Cancer Strategy & give cancer care in Ireland the investment it deserves.

We've so much to be thankful for. Laura paved the way for the patient voice not to be just heard, but listened to..... #ThankYouLaura

At the end of a long but very produtive day 😊 #CarpeDiem
