The 21-year-old student said it was shocking to be diagnosed with cancer as a teenager, but she said she feels thankful to have survived.

"I was diagnosed when I was 18 years old. I had no reason to think that anything was wrong. I got the biopsy back, found out it was cancer," she told RTÉ Entertainment.

"It was really shocking, it was really difficult. But I am who I am today because of that difficult experience. So I have nothing but thankfulness to be on this side of it."
