WLR's Sinead Aherne was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2017.
She was one of 194 new diagnoses of the disease at University Hospital Waterford that year.
It's one of the most common types of cancer in women in Ireland. Most are over 50, but younger women can also get the disease too. Sinead was 32 when she was diagnosed.
Her documentary 'Breast Cancer and Me' explores life with cancer and life afterwards. Sinead speaks to the medical professionals who treated her, her parents who supported her throughout and three strong young women who also got breast cancer in their 30's.
It covers the treatments, the side effects, the fear of recurrence and the impact it has on fertility.
