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.

Gort Cancer Support
Cholangiocarcinoma can be especially difficult to detect because it often shows no signs until it has advanced. However, some key symptoms to be aware of include:
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin & eyes)
• Itchy skin caused by a buildup of bile salts & bilirubin
• Pale or white stools & dark urine
• Abdominal pain, often on the upper right side under the ribs
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue & loss of appetite
• Fever or night sweats in some cases
If you or someone you know is experiencing persistent symptoms like these, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional.
Today, we also remember James Hastings, who dedicated so much of his strength & time to raising awareness of this devastating disease before his passing last November. His courage, his advocacy & his determination to help others continue to inspire us. By sharing information, we honour his legacy & ensure his voice continues to make an impact 💚💚💚.
