Welcome
Gort Cancer Support Centre offers a confidential community-based cancer support service to anybody affected by a cancer diagnosis in the South Galway / North Clare areas. We provide the highest possible standard of care to everyone who avails of our support services. From the very first point of contact, you will be greeted by one of our caring and empathetic team members, whose role is to ensure you feel supported and welcome. Their expertise, dedication and care for each person using our services, makes Hollyblue House the haven of tranquillity it is.
A diagnosis of cancer profoundly changes a person’s life. Many people feel alone, isolated and afraid. Some people keep their fears to themselves in order not to cause further trauma to their families. Others have no one to share their fears with. By adopting a holistic approach and providing a range of supportive services and activities, we enhance people’s wellbeing and coping skills.
Please make the call, as we are here to support you and your family. We fully understand your feelings of fear, panic, sadness and loneliness. We can assure you when you leave our centre, you will have a new sense of peace and hope.
All services are offered FREE OF CHARGE and confidentiality is ensured.

Sarcomas are a rare & diverse group of cancers that develop in the body’s connective tissues - such as muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons & bones. They are broadly classified into two main types:
• Soft tissue sarcomas (about 80% of cases)
• Bone sarcomas (also known as primary bone cancers).
Sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body, but are most commonly found in the arms, legs & abdomen. They often begin as a painless lump or swelling, which may grow over time. In some cases, persistent pain or tenderness may be the only symptom.
Sarcoma accounts for less than 1% of all adult cancers but is more common in children & young adults. In Ireland, sarcoma is classified as a rare cancer, with an incidence rate of fewer than 6 new cases per 100,000 people per year.
Look out for:
• Any lump or bump that grows over time—even if it’s painless
• Persistent, unexplained pain or tenderness
• Changes in mobility or function in a limb.
If you notice any unusual changes, don’t wait - speak to your GP. Early detection can make a difference.
