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.

Breast Cancer: Four Women, One Shared Journey
In this final episode of Season 1, I sit down with Karen Kruger, Avril Tierney, and Niamh Noonan to talk openly about life with breast cancer. We share the shock of diagnosis, the physical and emotional toll of treatment, and what it feels like to face life afterwards. We talk about fear of recurrence, body image, relationships, and the personal choices involved in treatment and surgery. We also explore self-love, coping strategies, and the comfort of connecting with others who truly understand. This honest and supportive conversation reminds anyone going through cancer that they are never alone.
