Welcome to Cancer Week Ireland – a national initiative to get people talking about cancer and how we can prevent it, spot it, treat it, and survive and thrive afterwards.
Cancer has touched every family in every community. More people are being diagnosed with cancer every year, but more of us are also surviving and living with and beyond the disease.
This is why we need to talk about cancer.
This year events will take place across the country for Cancer Week Ireland to get a national conversation going about cancer. Host your own event, or find out which event you want to attend and show your support!
