Vanessa Mooney created the "Someone Like Me, Your Cancer Community" app.
A Midlands cancer survivor is using a new app to bring people affected by the disease together and help them connect with others.
Tullamore's Vanessa Mooney, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2019, created the "Someone Like Me, Your Cancer Community" app, which has so far been downloaded over 200 times.
The app is designed to support people at every stage of their cancer journey, including those living with secondary or metastatic cancer and undergoing ongoing treatment.
It is currently being trialled at St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin.
