ABOUT THE IRISH CANCER SOCIETY
Did you know?
We provide information on a range of topics, including early detection of cancer, cancer types, treatments, side-effects and coping with cancer, among others. You can also call our Support Line on Freephone or contact your nearest Daffodil Centre for free copies of any of our publications.
The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the Government Government so days like Daffodil Day are what allow us to continue to be there for every child and adult affected by cancer in Ireland.
