Cullohill's Avril Deegan survived lukaemia, and is focusing on the topic during her PhD in Cancer research.
A Laois researcher is calling for more psychological supports to be put in place for children who beat cancer and for their parents.
Avril Deegan was diagnosed with lukaemia at five years old, and went into remission two years later.
The Cullohill woman studied psychology in college, and now works as a funded PhD researcher in Breakthrough Cancer Research at DCU.
Her focus is on the transition back into everyday life for childhood cancer patients post-treatment.
Ms Deegan says a lack of services can be distressing for families:
