Had an appointment earlier at University Hospital Limerick & worth noting parking there is FREE for oncology patients.

Unfortunately that's not the case nationwide.

Surely it's time to finally roll this out nationwide?

Patients are waiting for tests, treatment & surgeries due to Gov's lack of investment in cancer services!

Experts in Ireland call for vital funding of the National Cancer Strategy. Our cancer services need urgent action!

Share to raise awareness!

The financial cost of cancer is HUGE. People donโ€™t talk about it.
I didnโ€™t have a medical card for most of my treatment and I was off work for almost 3 years.
Last count I spent over โ‚ฌ24,000 in medical expensesโ€ฆ.
(Hence why I live in my parentโ€™s attic!)

What concerns me most about Robertas tweet, is the need to go public in the first instance.

The financial implications of a diagnosis are immense & there's a duty of care to ease that burden wherever possible.

I'll be raising this with HSE Ireland management next week.

'Without proper funding, the National Cancer Strategy is a plan without action and a plan without action is not a plan - it is just words.'

So..... had an 1130 appointment this morning at UL Hospitals, was seen straight away & am now on my way home ๐Ÿ˜Š

Have to compliment the efficiency of the service I recieved in Limerick today. It gets a lot of bad press, but good things happen here too!
