Please remove this ad . I have two of my closest family fighting cancer. You would never even joke that you want to 'get cancer'after seeing what they have been through.

Not a nice add and is very bad for the people that are going through it and for families that have lost people from it, disgraceful!

.I am sure there are many more like her.

Remove this disturbing, insulting advert now. Disgusting that the ICS could be so detached from the reality of people enduring the scourge of cancer. Kick email while they're down ICS.

you don't need to raise awareness, we do actually all "get" it already, unfortunately

I had Triple Negative breast cancer, 3 surgeries in 10 days, 4 months of chemo every 2 weeks and 25 days of radiation. It left me with severe anxiety and a debilitating depression which I am just now coming out of after nearly 2 years. Every time I see this ad I get a blast of anxiety and even dreamt about it last night!! Cancer patients, former cancer patients, friends, families of cancer patients do NOT need to see this awful slogan. It's upsetting and unnecessary.

My mum passed away this year from cancer in her 50's after a 22 year battle with the horrible disease. To have an add where people say they want cancer, however ironically it may be is extremely disrespectful for those brave people who have fought and still fight with every breath to survive

This advertisement is a total waste of donations made to Irish Cancer Society. Money could be spent better on patients needs. As a Cancer patient it is degrading. No one goes out deliberately to get Cancer

As a person that has had breast cancer last yr. I find this advertisement very insensitive to many. Have had my 12 yr old son asking "why would you want cancer mam after seeing what you went through." I'm all for making people aware but everyone is aware as unfortunately all families either know someone or have a family member that have cancer in some way. Would prefer to see advertisements that teach people to look out for signs of cancer, educate people about it, not upset people.
