A woman from Swords discovered she had cancer after she complained to her GP that she was feeling exhausted.
Mary O’Callaghan, 74, can’t even remember the reason why she went to her GP in August 2019 when she off-handedly mentioned she was feeling tired all the time. Her GP, remembering how strong Mary was when she was getting her hip replaced not too long ago, told her: “What's going on? I know how stoic you can be.”
Mary responded: “If you’re talking about stoicism, my sister is the stoic one. My younger sister had breast cancer and she told none of us until she was out of the woods until after two years when she finished her chemo.”
