Bawnboy resident on mission to raise funds for a local GP. A Bawnboy resident is hoping to raise money for a local GP who needs life saving treatment.
Dr Susan Nicholson Cosnett, based in Ballyconnell, was diagnosed with a rare genetic ALM tumour. Sadly the tumour has been unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy.
However, a new treatment called TIL therapy, which is not available in Ireland at the moment, could greatly increase her chances of survival. Indeed, she has been approved for the treatment in Amsterdam, and is aiming to raise €150,000 to cover the costs.
Elaine O Reilly, originally from Ardee but who's lived in Bawnboy for 20 years is running the Dublin Marathon on Sunday in aid of Susan. She spoke to Jack Cunnane about the challenge and why she decided to take it on.
