Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community Podcast
Welcome to Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community Podcast
I’m your host, Vanessa Mooney, a breast cancer survivor who created this space after going through it all myself.
Each week, I share real cancer stories — honest conversations with people affected by cancer and the family members who’ve walked beside them.
These are raw, emotional, and uplifting stories about what cancer really feels like — the fear, the grief, the shock, the strength, and the unexpected moments that somehow get you through it.
I’m also launching Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community App, a place for support, connection, and shared cancer stories for anyone affected by cancer.
Main Sponsor: Breast Cancer Ireland
This podcast is for anyone who has ever thought:
“No one gets what I’m going through.”
We do. And you’re not alone anymore.
💚 Let’s make cancer a little less lonely together.

Veronica’s Lung Cancer Journey – My Chemo Sister
In this powerful episode, I sit down with my sister Veronica, my chemo sister. We were both diagnosed with cancer just months apart, me with breast cancer and her with lung. What followed was a whirlwind of chemo, scans, surgeries and heartbreak.
Veronica opens up about her own cancer journey, the emotional toll of treatment, and how her life was turned upside down, including going through a divorce and feeling abandoned at one of the lowest points in her life.
We talk honestly about fear, resilience, sisterhood, and the turning point that helped her reclaim her power. She also shares how important it is to get a second opinion when something doesn’t feel right, especially with X-rays or medical advice.
This one is raw, real and full of strength. You don’t want to miss it.
Note: We experienced some slight audio issues during this recording, so thanks for bearing with us. The conversation is full of heart and worth the listen 💛
