Donal Buggy, Head of Services and Advocacy at the Irish Cancer Society said; “The overall aim of this unique conference is to identify issues important to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and to support patients and those close to them need to make the necessary adjustments in order to live as well as they can following their diagnosis.”
The two day programme includes practical information on treatment advances, dealing with fatigue, exercise and diet as well as dealing with the emotional and psychological effects of cancer.
