Cancer sufferer Amy Galvin to get keys to her independence

When Amy Galvin gets the keys to her apartment next week, it won’t just open the door to a new home, it will be a symbol of her innate ability to never give up.

Amy, 28, has been diagnosed with Stage 3C borderline terminal ovarian cancer.

She spent a year hooked up to a morphine drip, before taking the decision to break away and live her life on her own terms. Now, she says she is regaining her independence as she moves into her new home, an apartment at Cúirt Róisín in Galway City, one of 15 new high-quality, affordable rented units in Galway City provided by the Clúid Housing association.
