Gort Cancer Support
Gort Cancer Support was established in June 2007 to provide support and practical assistance to people affected by a cancer diagnosis. We adopt a holistic approach towards our clients and their family members by providing a range of activities and social events which will enhance our clients wellbeing and coping skills. Our cancer support centre is managed and operated by trained volunteers with the assistance of administrative staff and professional therapists. We offer a home from home environment where one will feel relaxed and welcome.
Our Registered Charity Number (RCN) is 20075927.
Studies have shown that when undergoing chemotherapy treatment, staying hydrated is crucial. Good hydration helps flush toxins out of the body & can help reduce treatment side effects, such as nausea, weakness, constipation & fatigue.
Where possible, sip water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Other liquids count too: milk, juice, sports drinks & decaf coffee or tea. Try adding fresh ginger, mint, cucumber or citrus slices, berries or a splash of fruit juice to give your water some flavour. Foods with high water content, such as watermelon, also contribute to hydration. If you struggle with drinking or eating, consider sucking on small bits of ice.
What are your top tips for staying hydrated?
If you are undergoing chemotherapy & are concerned that you may be dehydrated then please consult your oncologist or GP.

Many thanks to Tribes Mcc for their incredible support of our charity & also East Galway & Midlands Cancer Support by raising €2,200 for each support centre through their “Praying for Summer 2” charity run held last month.
We were delighted to meet members of Tribes Motorcycle Club at Galway Plaza yesterday evening, where our Chairperson David Kelly & committee member Niamh Callanan were presented with the cheque. We are so grateful for the time, effort & generosity that went into organising this fantastic event.
Your support makes a real difference to the people & families we support across our community. Thank you to everyone involved & we hope you enjoyed the run as much as we appreciate the wonderful contribution you have made.
