Yeah.
Entering motherhood without a cancer diagnosis.
But then it all changed when your girls were still so little.
Yeah.
Has it become and it's awful to say just part and parcel now of home life and how do you manage it?
Because all those things and, you know, I imagine, and I know you've referenced having a bucket list, but I mean, how do you even feel about that phrase?
Since a year ago, you lost your hair.
You're a hairdresser.
And people do talk about that loss of identity that can come with with losing your hair during chemo and during various treatments.
Did it affect you that way?
And you got your girls, didn't you, to help you?
So you're now, you're still stage four cancer, are you?
But you're receiving that treatment and it sounds gruelling, but hopefully effective in prolonging your days.
Yes, yes.
Has it given you, I mean, has it given you a perspective?
Is there a calm there at all, Leona?
Or is there, as I would suspect, I don't know, but I know, and I'm sure many people listening would say, you must be just incredibly angry at what you've had to go through, knowing that your life could have been really different if those abnormalities were picked up earlier.
You've met the Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll-McNeill on all of this because you are still advocating on behalf of Irish women using the national screening programme.
And as women, we need to have faith, don't we, in that health care system and in that programme.
Do you think enough progress has been made there?
