Chairman's Welcome

Welcome to the Cancer Care West Website.

As you may know, Cancer Care West's main objective is to support those whose lives have been affected by a cancer diagnosis.

On the 1st May, 2009 we opened our new Cancer Support Centre at 72 Seamus Quirke Road. The key elements of this centre are to provide information about cancer and offer emotional and psychological support on an individual or group basis in a supportive, safe environment to people dealing with and living with cancer.

Our other major project is Inis Aoibhinn, a 33 bedded residential facility which provides accommodation to patients receiving radiotherapy and their families. Opened in March 2007, Inis Aoibhinn is currently operating at full capacity and has provided a home from home environment for many patients from all over the West of Ireland.

We are very confident that the above two projects have made a very positive impact in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

I would like to express my appreciation to all individuals and organisations that have supported Cancer Care West over many years, which has facilitated us in bringing these projects to fruition.

We have many plans for the extension of our Cancer services throughout the Western region and would appreciate your continued support as shown so generously in the past.

With sincere thanks from myself, the directors and staff of Cancer Care West.

John MacNamara
