Season 8, Episode 1, Jan 24, 2021, 12:05 AM
This week I speak to Shannen Joyce. Also known as The Big C And Me, Shannen has been through so much over the past 7 years. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma when she was 19. She's 26 now and has just finished treatment for her 3rd diagnosis of cancer. Over the last couple of weeks, she thought she had relapsed for a fourth time after finding a lump. Luckily, this lump was not cancerous and she has been given the go ahead to embark on the last leg of this journey. A transplant in Dublin in the next couple of weeks. Shannen knows what she's up against, her strength and positivity is infectious. She loves her family so much, she knows the next few months will be tough but she's determined to do it. Today, she talks about why she hasn't been sharing too much over the last couple of weeks, tells me all about her support network and her plans for the future.
