Message from Janette Byrne, Cancer survivor and Patients Together Spokesperson

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

St Luke’s Cancer Hospital Campaign disappointed with lack of support from Chris Andrews T.D and John Gormley T.D

The Save St Luke’s Campaign held a photo shoot at St Luke’s Cancer Hospital Rathgar this Saturday May 10th at 1pm to raise awareness about a protest march being organised on June 7th and to call on local political representatives to support the campaign to save the hospital.

Failure of Government TD’s and Minister

The Save St Luke’s Cancer Hospital Campaign contacted the two Government T.D.s, Chris Andrews, Fianna Fail TD and John Gormley, TD, in whose constituency St Luke’s is located, to ascertain their position on closure of cancer services at St Luke’s Cancer Hospital Rathgar.
