Listen to the last episode:

In this episode of the Lonely Gal podcast, Judy Wong talks with Aisling Eyre, a resilient individual sharing her journey living with metastatic breast cancer. Aisling opens up about the transformation in her life since her diagnosis, discussing the impact on her professional and personal life.

Aisling previously worked in fashion and now has shifted to special effects makeup, finding joy and creativity in learning new skills. A significant theme of their conversation is the loneliness and isolation that can accompany living with a serious illness, despite having a supportive network. Aisling speaks candidly about the challenges of treatment, the physical and emotional toll of the disease, and the importance of learning and understanding her condition to maintain some control over her life.

Aisling shares moments of deep loneliness, particularly when making difficult decisions regarding her treatment, highlighting the complex dynamics of communication and support within her circle of friends and family. Despite the hardship, Aisling focuses on the importance of finding joy and purpose in life, showcasing her resilience and positive outlook. She also touches upon the idea of preparing for the end of life, underscoring the significance of living in the moment and making meaningful connections with others.

The episode delves into the balance between sharing one's struggles to avoid burdening loved ones and the need for support, illustrating the delicate balance of relationships in the face of serious illness. Aisling and Judy discuss the broader implications of loneliness, the importance of community, and the universal experiences of managing life's challenges.

Through her story, Aisling emphasises living with cancer rather than simply suffering from it, offering insights into coping with illness with grace and determination.
