Lady on T.V 3
Hi. I have just under gone 2 surgery for breast cancer. I keep telling everyone about the lady who was on T.V3 morning programme before the sschool broke up for summer. She was talking about an event that she was organising to raise money. She described how she had found out how she had breast cancer. I was trying to get the children breakfast and myself out to work (mad house!!!!!) but what she said stuck in my head. Oh thankfully it did because Aug bank holiday I discovered a lump.
I want to thank this lady for her courage to go on t.v and only for her I may not have listened to what my body was telling me.
so if any of ye out there know her pass on the message that I and my familly want to say a huge THANK YOU

Hi Eunice,
If it was a young woman who's living in Cork and has been regularly featured on Ireland AM this year, her name is Orlagh Winters.
How are you doing after your operations? How far out are you and will be having further treatment?
Hope you are keeping well.
Flo.
dear eunice,
that girl is organising a new years ball in aid of research into breast cancer for Ballingarry house outside tralee, there was an article in the mirror magasine two weeks ago on it. the fundraiser that she was doing at the time was in the blasket pub in tralee, her dh is the manager there, her name is Orlagh Winters and her husbands name is George Savage as fh2 said.
eunice glad that you seem to be doing so well, are you in chemo at the minute?
Unfortunately, 1 in 8 women will get diagnosed with BC.
For those of us who have already had this diagnosis, we need to let people know about it.
There is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about, we are not being punished we are just unlucky.
We need to let our friends and family know so as they can be more clued in and get themselves checked out.
I understand hat not everyone will have a successful outcome but there are woman who were dignosed 20+ years ago and are living healthy lives - this is what we need to focus on.
Education & early detection is essential
Hi Ladies,
That is me! The ball was a huge success and raised over 20,000 for NBCRI. Hope that all is well with you all and you are having a happy new year so far x
Hi eunice,
Reading between the lines...sounds like you're doing well. Well done!
