Bandanna Bunting

Message from Janette Byrne, former cancer patients and spokesperson for Patients Together :

Planning for the protest march of October 11th:

In recent years we have all heard of the horrendous way some cancer patients have suffered in our Health System.

*
Late diagnosis. (Too late for our friend Susie Long and many others)
*
Misdiagnosis
*
No Beds
*
Long waits for scans, chemotherapy, radiotherapy
*
Some losing their lives not to cancer but to hospital acquired infections

As part of the ‘Public Health Service Campaign’s’ protest on the 11th of October and with your help we want to create a ‘bandanna bunting’

What’s involved:

*
If you were a cancer patient you can bring a bandanna and pin it on with everyone else on the day.
*
If you had a loved one who experienced cancer and you wish to pin a bandanna on their behalf that is fine also.

*
Bandannas may be signed and include a message.
*
We want to make this cancer patients support as large as possible.
*
If you are unwell and unable to attend the protest you can post your bandanna to 82, Finglas Park Dublin 11
*
Conor MacLiam, husband of Susie Long, will pin up the first bandanna before the march

Only with your support will this happen.

Lets make this protest the greatest ever. We did it for the Antiwar campaign, we did it for Irish Ferries, we even did it in support of Bewleys; now your health deserves your support.

Please forward this message to others
