I’m going to do six months of chemotherapy. It’s going to be rough, but at the end of it they’re going to tell me that I’m cured and I can go back to my life.
LOUISE MCSHARRY’S DOCUMENTARY F**k Cancer aired on RTÉ Two last night and it got a huge reaction.
The programme followed the 2FM DJ, who is formerly of this parish, as she underwent treatment for Hodkin’s lymphoma. It gave a very honest account of dealing with cancer, coping with chemotherapy and hair loss, and trying to find a wedding dress.
In the first scenes of the documentary, Louise gets her hair shaved off.
“It’s not a hair cut I would choose but I don’t have a choice,” she admits.
“Miley Cyrus is going to be jealous of me because of all of the attention I’m going to get.”
During the show, Louise meets other people who are dealing with a cancer diagnoses and explores the fact her chances of having children have been reduced by her treatment.
Last month Louise and her partner Gordon Spierin got married.
The programme got a hugely positive reaction online, with people’s praising Louise’s honesty and humour.
