'You must have mixed up my file': Cork woman on her lung cancer diagnosis 

Gillian Ryan, a 42 year old mother of two from Cork, is sharing her story of lung cancer to raise awareness and call for increased funding for Breakthrough Cancer Research.

When Cork woman Gillian Ryan was diagnosed with lung cancer aged just 40, the non-smoker told doctors they must have mixed up her files with someone else.

The mother of two wants to see her teenagers grow up so she is calling for funding to support research into this devastating condition.
