Disneyland trip was ‘very best medicine’ - Irene Teap before she died of cervical cancer

Irene Teap wrote of how the joy on her two sons’ faces on a family trip to Disneyland was “the very best medicine” just two months before she died of cervical cancer.

The 35-year-old from Carrigaline in Cork was diagnosed with stage-two cancer in 2015 and died last July after two false negative tests in 2010 and 2013.

Writing in her blog ‘Fierce and Fighting’ in May 2017, Ms Teap wrote of her joy at being able to take her two boys, Oscar, 5, and Noah, 3, on a family trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Paris. It was her last blog entry. She died just two months later, on July 26, 2017.
