Carer Conversations

Battling Breast Cancer & Then Thriving


Listen Later

Patty Kikos interviews Dianne Mangley, who shares her incredibly inspiring journey of her cancer diagnosis. Dianne’s sense of humour is infectious, and her resilience is tenacious as she outlines how caring for her dad who had cancer inspired her to become a nurse, and despite her mum’s mental illness, has found it in her heart to not only forgive her, but care for her as she navigates dementia.
