Living with Stage 4 #ovariancancer & a terminal diagnosis can feel as if you are carrying a weight. However there are times you can find the #Joy and let that weight float away. #Galway #positiveliving #hope 🩵

If you told me that when I began walking on 15th May that I would walk the length of Ireland, I would laugh at you! Someone said to me earlier that I’ve now walked the length of the country 🇮🇪 Off for a siesta to watch 🔴⚪️ Cork later idonate.ie/fundraiser/Pamela… #Neverlosehope 💜

Never liked the "Fight" terminology often used around cancer patients. Cancer cares not about attitudes, it only succumbs to good treatments. The real fight is ensuring every patient has timely access to those treatments without a fight they don't have the time & energy for.

I was surprised to read this. From @ronan_glynn, now working in the commercial sector for @EY_Ireland. Advocating that "a faster, flexible process for funding adult vaccines should be created", and that "in conclusion, the case for prioritising adult immunisation is clear.

4 weeks post total-proctoclectomy. Recovery is slow, pain still requires morphine and repeated UTIs due to bladder dysfunction are irritating. But wounds are healing (perineum cuts are no fun), and stamina is returning. My ileostomy has immeasurably helped my quality of life

Today, in Serock, Poland, talking about #CRC in extreme ages, focused on the different management, and mainly on the differences of #EOCRC. @escp_tweets @aecirujanos @AECP_FAECP @CGAIGC @IBSAL_IIS

Important research now emerging, showing a complex landscape in the development of Colorectal Cancer. Much work also being done in the Irish Research Landscape, helping us to better understand, prevent and treat @AedinCulhane @CancerCentreIre @UCANIRELAND

Although much remains to be discovered, there is fantastic progress in researching the reasons behind the steady rise of early onset colorectal cancer. #NeverTooYoung

Well done and thank you for raising awareness for the people of Limerick 🙌🏻 @moranjohna1

#ESCMID2025 : CPE warned #AMR threatens cancer care. 📢 Drug resistance causes treatment delays & emotional toll. 🧬 By 2030, cancer care could be at risk without effective antibiotics. 💡More on AMR: lnkd.in/en9J9fUS 🔗Full article: lnkd.in/dQ9SnX79

An honor to be part of this necessary and pioneering event. With the focus on #EOCRC from a global perspective: worldwide participants and bringing together all the key players involved in addressing this problem. @aecirujanos @AECP_FAECP @IBSAL_IIS @escp_tweets @FightCRC

Colorectal Cancer is rising in younger people posing different and significant challenges. Please read Kerrie's powerful story, one shared by thousands of young cancer patients in Ireland. Be symptom aware, early diagnosis not only saves lives but also provides quality of life
