Aoife Murphy from Portarlington was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2025.
A Midlands mother-of-three says one of the hardest parts of living with cancer is feeling she can no longer give her children the financial security she had planned for them.
Aoife Murphy from Portarlington says treatment, travel and hospital costs have steadily eaten through the savings she had built up for her family.
Her experience features in new Irish Cancer Society research on the financial impact of a cancer diagnosis.
