Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.

In this episode I’m joined by Elaine Crowley as she shares her son Beau’s story of being diagnosed with ALL in Feb 2024 when he was 2 and a half. 

He was quite well before his diagnosis but pale and so for Elaine and her family leukaemia really was a shock. We talk about the impact of Beau’s treatment on him and their normality at home. As the youngest of 3 boys the house became a lot quieter, like the fun had been dialled right down but play therapy has been a huge support.  

As was attending Childhood Cancer Irelands free parent workshops as Elaine and Brian could connect with other families voicing similar thoughts and the advice given by our psychologists was practical and easy to implement in the real world. The workshops are aimed at parents / guardians of children, adolescents or young adults who have received a diagnosis of childhood cancer and facilitated by Principal Clinical Psychologist  Mairead Brennan and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist & Play Therapist Debbie Cullinane.
