It is so important to be vigilant for changes in your body that might be signs of cancer, BUT – it is not your fault if you get cancer, and feeling guilty about not “doing everything right” to prevent it can break people’s souls. @SarahFitzWiMIN
In addition to supports from the Irish Cancer Society and the support of her medical team, Nollaig has found great support through social media. “I came across a Facebook group of women at all different stages of triple negative breast cancer. Rather than reading up on it via Google, you are hearing directly from women who have gone through what you are about to go through. You learn to see that everyone’s experience is different.
Nollaig is sharing her story to raise awareness of breast cancer, but also to call for screening to start at an earlier age.
