An Insightful Presentation by Professor Anne-Marie O’Dwyer in Thurles Library.
📅 Dates: Tuesday 14th October @6:30pm
📍 Location: The Source Library, Thurles

Anne-Marie delves into various psychiatric aspects related to a cancer diagnosis, covering the initial prognosis, the treatment process, and aftercare.
Professor O’Dwyer’s book, “The Cancer Guide,” serves as a definitive and inspiring resource aimed at assisting patients, partners, families, and colleagues in navigating the challenges associated with cancer and its treatment.
With over forty years of experience, O’Dwyer writes about cancer with both humanity and clarity, addressing the myths and misinformation prevalent in our information-saturated age. By adopting a holistic biological and psychological viewpoint, she emphasizes the individual at the center of every treatment, offering valuable advice and shared experiences that help destigmatize the shame, fear, and denial often faced by those impacted by cancer.
“The Cancer Guide” is an empowering and informative resource for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer. The book is available for borrowing at the library.
This government-led program serves as the national strategy aimed at enhancing health and well-being, emphasizing prevention, personal awareness, and promoting longer, healthier lives.
