221+ Patient Representatives Úna Kealy and Gráinne Culliton shared their stories to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer as part of the INGO (Irish Network of Gynaecological Oncology)’s annual awareness campaign for World Gynaecological Oncology Day 2025.
It is so important to share the message to women across Ireland to look out for their own health, to be aware of symptoms and get seen by doctors. As both stories emphasised – no symptom is too small when it comes to your health. Always get anything of concern checked out.
Their stories were featured by the Irish Times and the Irish Examiner respectively, and the full articles are linked below.
