In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online, here.

This week’s front page features the story of a retired nurse from Dounby, diagnosed with kidney cancer last Autumn, who has recounted the negative experiences and delays she’s faced in trying to get an operation which could save her life.

Delia Hall has said she is worried that others, less knowledgable about the healthcare system could be facing the same problems without any idea of what to do.

Also in this week’s newspaper:

• “Beefandlambuary” versus “Veganuary.” A local farmer’s Facebook post goes global.

• The Fisherman’s Mission appoints a new area officer for Orkney.

• A wig-fitting service, for those suffering illness, welcomed

• Our cartoon strip, The Giddy Limit, gears up for a very special mock wedding.

For all these stories and much more, pick up a copy of today’s edition of The Orcadian.
