About Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community

Welcome to Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community Podcast I’m your host, Vanessa Mooney, a breast cancer survivor who created this space after going through it all myself. I share real cancer stories — honest conversations with people affected by cancer and the family members who’ve walked beside them. These are raw, emotional, and uplifting stories about what cancer really feels like — the fear, the grief, the shock, the strength, and the unexpected moments that somehow get you through it. I’m also launching Someone Like Me – Your Cancer Community App, a place for support, connection, and shared cancer stories for anyone affected by cancer. Main Sponsor: Breast Cancer Ireland This podcast is for anyone who has ever thought: “No one gets what I’m going through.” We do. And you’re not alone anymore. 💚 Let’s make cancer a little less lonely together.
