ARC provides free, professional cancer support to children (age 4+) and adults affected by cancer - patients, survivors, families, and carers - all in one warm, confidential, and welcoming space. In ARC we offer comfort through this period of stress and anxiety together with psychological and emotional support.

'I had no symptoms - a routine screening found breast cancer'

Cathy Gaynor (50s), from Sandymount, Co Dublin, went for a routine visit to her GP to discuss Hormone Replacement Therapy, but didn’t realise that her life would change forever – as the mother-of-two discovered she had breast cancer.

“I had no symptoms. No lump, nothing. I had missed my breast check appointments because of Covid, and my mum passed away so life took over and I missed my appointment.”

Having seen information about ARC Cancer Support Centres at St Vincent's Hospital, Cathy enrolled in ARC's Thrive and Survive programme before accessing counselling, and enrolling her children in ARC's Child and Teen Counselling Service.

"When you're dealing with a cancer diagnosis, there are already so many things to worry about. Knowing support was available not just for me, but for my whole family, without any financial burden, was incredibly important."

As Budget 2027 is launched today, at ARC Cancer Support Centres our message is simple: cancer care must support the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

For people living with cancer and their families, the impact can be emotional, practical and financial - and it does not end at the hospital door.

We hope Budget 2027 recognises the vital role of community-based cancer support and the importance of sustainable investment in accessible psychosocial supports.

At ARC, our services are provided free of charge because nobody should face additional barriers to getting the support they need during cancer.

Investment in cancer care must mean investment across the whole cancer journey.

Fatigue after cancer can linger long after treatment ends, and it’s often far more than just feeling tired. It can affect concentration, motivation and everyday life, and it’s not always well understood by those around you.

Based on her experience of over 26 years working in psycho-oncology, Dr Sonya Collier will help you understand what causes persistent cancer-related fatigue and how to use psychological strategies to manage it.

If fatigue has been weighing on you, this session offers real understanding and practical ways to cope.

📅 Tuesday, 20th October 2026
🕙 10.30am – 11.45am
📍 ARC Cancer Centre, South Circular Road, D08 X229
