Ep 07 - Aoife’s Journey: Battling Breast Cancer at 30

Staying Abreast, brought to you by The National Breast Cancer Research Institute.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Aoife, a vibrant 30-year-old Galway native, who shares her deeply personal journey of battling breast cancer. Diagnosed with breast cancer just a month after sitting her PhD, Aoife is now undergoing chemotherapy and facing a series of life-changing decisions. Aoife opens up about how she first discovered the lump that changed everything, and the importance of paying attention to your body. The episode highlights an important message: breast cancer can happen to anyone, at any stage of life, and sometimes, something as simple as googling could make the difference between an early or late diagnosis. Aoife advises individuals not to compare themselves to others, as treatments, stages and cancer types can differ significantly. Join us as Aoife shares her strength, insight and determination in the face of this challenge.
