November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting both men and women in Ireland.

• Around 2,740 people in Ireland are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.
• Only about 24% of people are alive five years after being diagnosed.
• Lung cancer is Ireland’s biggest cancer killer, with approximately 1,900 deaths every year.
• Smoking is responsible for 85–90% of cases, while passive smoking and radon exposure are also major risk factors.
• Less than 1% of new cases occur before the age of 40, and most people diagnosed are over 50.

💗 Know the signs:
• A persistent cough that doesn’t go away
• Shortness of breath or wheezing
• Chest pain
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

If you or someone you care about is experiencing any of these symptoms, speak with your GP as soon as possible. Early action can make a difference.

There's still time to register for our FREE Webinar on Decision-Making Options for Individuals, Families and Carers which takes place this Tuesday, Nov 4th from 12pm - 1pm.

If you are living with dementia, or your son, daughter, parent or spouse has a progressive illness, affecting their capacity, then this is an opportunity to engage with a legal professional working in the field of capacity.

Muriel Moore has personal experience of dementia, in her family and is a solicitor specialising in the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act. She is a decision-making representative for a number of people, makes Decision-Making Representation applications where someone lacks capacity to make decisions themselves, and advises on making Enduring Powers of Attorney.
The session will cover the graduated approach to capacity, something we are familiar with when living with dementia and other progressive illnesses, showing how best to support independent decision-making, and how this is supported by the new law.
It will also address future planning for present and future scenarios where any one of us, through accident, illness or injury may lack capacity to make decisions affecting our own lives.

We will explore how anyone experiencing challenges with capacity may:
- choose another person to be a decision-supporter, who will be recognised by banks, financial institutions, healthcare providers as authorised to speak for you, and on your behalf.
- Provide for a such a person to act for you, and on your behalf in the future, by creating an Enduring Power of Attorney (where individuals can choose and appoint in advance the person or persons who will manage some or all of their affairs.)
- Provide in a document for their specific wishes regarding future care, in an Advanced Healthcare Directive.

The new law has human rights at its core, with an emphasis on respect for a person’s freedom to choose for themselves, maximum independence and employing the least invasive intervention focusing on the person’s own will and preference.

We will look at how this is being implemented, some of the difficulties in negotiating the legal processes and how to overcome them.

If you have any related questions that you would like to put to Muriel, please email: murielamoore@outlook.com and she will endeavour to answer them on the day.

We will also leave time for any practical queries you may have at the end of the webinar.
