Linda’s Story
In sharing her cancer story with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Linda recalls tobogganing with her kids back in 2010 and ended up with some bumps on her head after a fall but at the time thought nothing of it. At a later stage Linda discovered a lump on her breast and a lump on her under arm and was put on watch and wait by her medical team.
Linda describes 2018 as a particularly stressful year for her and at the end of the year she developed problems with her vision, which as the founder of a walking and cycling company presented immediate concerns to her.
Mikey’s Story
Cllr. Mikey Sheehy shares his own journey with his cancer battle, in his early thirties, as he and his wife Suzanne were excitedly expecting the arrival of their second child. From his diagnosis of stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Mikey and his family became immersed in his treatment journey in the Oncology Department of University Hospital Kerry.
Candidly, Mikey shared that before his diagnosis he was naïve about cancer and the journey involved regarding treatment. More people are living with and surviving cancer than ever before, and Mikey’s story is one he credits entirely to the Oncology ward in UHK.
