Irish Cancer Society prepares to pass new social media milestone

The Irish Cancer Society will break new ground on Wednesday afternoon with its first live Facebook Q&A session with a Breast Cancer Nurse to answer your breast cancer questions.

One of our specialist breast cancer nurses will be logged in on the Irish Cancer Society’s Facebook page from 2pm on Wednesday to participate in a live Q&A with our Facebook community.

The Irish Cancer Society Facebook page is fast approaching the 50,000-fan mark, and we are inviting that audience and others to come to our Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon.

Regular updates on our Facebook page include links to our cancer information leaflets and publications and details about direct patient care services, ongoing cancer awareness campaigns, research programmes funded by the Society as well as our advocacy campaigns and vital fundraising efforts from dedicated volunteers all over the country.

Throughout the months of September and October we’re calling on the women of Ireland to do something to combat breast cancer in our Get the Girls campaign, kindly supported by Centra, which aims to help reach the next groundbreaking breast cancer discovery by raising funds for vital breast cancer research in Ireland.

Also, the "Supporting People with Breast Cancer" Annual Patient Conference takes place at Dublin Castle on September 29th (you can register by following this link). 

So if you have any questions for our specialist breast cancer nurse, make sure to visit the Irish Cancer Society Facebook page from 2pm on Wednesday. You can also head on over there right now and Like and Share today’s post to spread the word.
