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.

Love, Loss, and Three Cancer Diagnoses – Ray Tells Mary’s Story
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Ray Tobin a husband and father who shares the heartbreaking and inspiring story of his wife, Mary.
Mary was first diagnosed with primary breast cancer and got the all clear. But soon after, she was diagnosed with two more separate primary cancers. It was one fight after another — scans, treatments, second opinions and through it all, Mary kept going.
She sadly passed away just 13 months ago.
Ray speaks honestly about the reality of navigating the healthcare system, pushing for answers, and the emotional toll of watching the person you love face battle after battle.
This is a story of love, loss, and unbelievable strength.
Grab a cuppa, and tune in.
