    Leaving Leukaemia Behind - Eoin & Lucy Cronly

    Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer. For the final episode of the year, I am joined by Eoin Cronly and his mother Lucy.   Eoin is now 22 and was diagnosed with Leukaemia when he was 11 followed by, as he explains, every rare complication he could think of. He missed out on a lot of school and was healthy enough to return just as lockdown happened. But by understanding the accommodations he was entitled to, he sat the leaving cert and is now well on his way to finishing college - despite many health set backs and adverse side effects to steroid treatments. Lucy was with him throughout and has trained as a parent peer supporter with Childhood Cancer Ireland to be able to offer support to other parents and is a huge advocate for sharing information and empathy.  Please text GOLD to 50300 and donate €4 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.

    Gone Too Soon - Córa's Story. Erin Tierney

    Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the loss of a child to cancer. If you have been impacted by the loss of a child, you will find information, resources and support at Anam Cara, an organisation which supports parents after bereavement. They also have information for siblings, grandparents and other family members, which may be helpful. Erin Tierney was only 22 and in her final year in college when she got pregnant with her first baby, Córa.   At 7 months, unexpectedly, Córa was diagnosed with with a rare & aggressive embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) in her brain and spinal cord. Córa lived for another 10 days.  The shock and grief of this sudden diagnosis and loss shatterd Erin, Conor and their families. And in the years since have found the strength to keep going. Baby Florence arrived a couple of months ago and the Córa Rose Foundation has been set up to support bereaved parents. This is heartbreaking but Erin's courage and compassion is a gift to everyone who listens.  You can read Córa's story here https://childhoodcancer.ie/story/cora-rose-tierney-donoghue/ Please text GOLD to 50300 and donate €4 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.
