Planning for the protest march of October 11th:
In recent years we have all heard of the horrendous way some cancer patients have suffered in our Health System.
-
Late diagnosis. (Too late for our friend Susie Long and many others)
-
Misdiagnosis
-
No Beds
-
Long waits for scans, chemotherapy, radiotherapy
-
Some losing their lives not to cancer but to hospital acquired infections
As part of the ‘Public Health Campaign’s’ protest on the 11th of October and with your help we want to create a ‘bandana bunting’
What’s involved:
-
If you were a cancer patient you can bring a bandana and pin it on with everyone else on the day.
-
If you had a loved one who experienced cancer and you wish to pin a bandana on their behalf that is fine also.
-
Bandanas may be signed and include a message.
-
We want to make this cancer patients support as large as possible.
-
If you are unwell and unable to attend the protest you can post your bandana to 82, Finglas Park Dublin 11
Only with your support will this happen.
Lets make this protest the greatest ever, we did it for the Antiwar campaign, we did it for Irish Ferries, we even did it in support of Beweley’s, now your health deserves your support.
Please forward this message to others

ive have just spent 7 week at st lukes being treated for cervical cancer .at the moment theres alot of swear words going through my head at the thoughts of it being closed or “relocated” ,im nearly in tears here as im typing ,does the goverment not get it ? the hospital is amazing the staff are the same the care i recieved there was fantastic ,it hard enough to deal with this unwanted cancer trying to take over your body ,but this hospital and and its staff made it easier to deal with mental as well a physicaly. why are they trying to close it ? do they not understand that with out st lukes some of us might not have made it through the radiotherapy ,the chemos and every thing side effects wise that can go along with cancer treatment with out the staff and the location and well just about every thing that st lukes has to offer us ………NO NO NO NO TO CLOSING DOWN ST LUKES ,yous sinserly sara mongomery, hopfully a cancer survivor
