    In today’s episode we are joined by Martina Quirke to talk about Sophie, her 9 year old daughter who was diagnosed with ALL, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in January 2023.

    And while this is a very open and raw conversation - it is a hopeful one as Sophie's cancer has very successful outcomes.


    We talk about the physical but also the psycho social side of cancer at this age, the need for greater psychological support, navigating friendships, inclusion and a loss of identity.

    We talk about the fear, the anger, the stamina and the support it takes to find your way through.
