A young woman has issued a potentially life-saving message as she celebrated three years cancer-free on her graduation day from University College Cork (UCC).

Julia Banasiak, 24, said she wanted to tell her cancer story to raise awareness among young adults of the warning signs of the disease ahead of the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day fundraiser on Friday.
