300,000 people have visited cancer society's Daffodil Centres in the past ten years

LIKE thousands of people who receive a cancer diagnosis, mother of two, Theresa Cronin, from Carrigtwohill, was left feeling scared and emotional as she faced going down a difficult road of treatment and post-treatment, wondering who she was going to call.


The first Daffodil Centre was set up as a pilot collaboration with University Hospital Galway in 2009. The main objective was to provide information, care and support for the cancer patient and their families from diagnosis to treatment to follow-up.
300,000 people have visited the Daffodil Centres in the last 10 years.
