Age group: 36-45
Type of Cancer: Breast Cancer
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 36. I am a mother to four young children. My treatment was surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy.
I would like to be able to support someone in a similar position.

Age group: 46-55
Type of Cancer: Breast Cancer
In late 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which came as a shock as I was always fit, healthy and involved in sport.
Following surgery and treatment my ambition was to return to work and participate in sport. 20 months later I achieved this goal. Work represented normality for me and I am proud to be selected as a peer supporter for the HSE.
Isabelle McShane
Age group: 36-45
Type of Cancer: Cervical
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2018. This was after my first smear test. I had watched the lovely, late, Laura Brennan on The Late Late Show tell her story and I decided that I should really go for a smear test. I was 37 years old.
I was undergoing surgery for a hysterectomy when they discovered that the cancer had spread to a couple of my lymph nodes. Surgery was then stopped. I then underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for 6 weeks and had 3 sessions of brachytherapy.
My treatment was difficult, but thankfully this treatment worked. I still attend appointments until I reach the “magic” 5 year mark.
