Cancer support groups create new service for sufferers during Covid crisis

The Together 4 Cancer Concern service includes a panel of experienced cancer counsellors, with connections to community cancer support centres across the country and a team of clinical psychologists from Cancer Care West.

Organisations providing cancer support have joined forces to create a new service aimed at patients trying to navigate life through their illness during the Covid-19 crisis.

The Together 4 Cancer Concern was launched by the Irish Cancer Society, the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), and Cancer Care West to build what the organisations call “a virtual community of care for people who are struggling with the emotional and psychological effects of living with cancer” at the moment.
