Liz O’Riordan: I’ve heard of bone cancer, have you?

Liz O’Riordan posted on X:

I’ve heard of bone cancer, have you?

As part of the Bone Cancer Research Trust’s ‘Ever Heard of Bone Cancer?’ campaign, I’m raising awareness this October.

Many people experience delays in treatment because primary bone cancer is difficult to diagnose. In fact, 8 out of 10 patients are initially misdiagnosed with other conditions. We need your help to make the public and healthcare professionals aware of signs and symptoms.By ordering a ribbon this Bone Cancer Awareness Week you can support bone cancer patients and help save lives

To learn more and get your ribbon please visit here.

Mum was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2022 and died 5 months later. I will be wearing my ribbon with pride this week in her memory.”
