About

My guest this week on Menopause Uprising is, Dearbhaile O'Hare. Dearbhaile is a survivor of breast cancer and has written a book telling her story.


Things Went T*Ts Up is written and illustrated from the hearts of two breast cancer thrivers - Dearbhaile O'Hare and Jess Pierce.

The goal of the book is to bring comfort and hope (and even an unexpected laugh) to anyone going through a cancer diagnosis, or caring for a loved one going through it. All profits from the sale of this book are going to the Marie Keating Foundation and Purple House Cancer Support - paying it forward to those who so lovingly had our backs when we needed it the most. 


The book is available to purchase from Amazon and from  www.thingswenttitsup.ie
