Rachel Whitehead (31) is a newly qualified midwife, having trained at the University of Limerick and the Limerick Regional Maternity Hospital.

On Monday, the mother-of-two started a six-week programme of intensive radiotherapy at the Bon Secours Cork. Her family have been numbed by her unexpected cancer diagnosis.

Her mother, Louise Whitehead is an intellectual disability nurse, who was forced to retire five years ago, following a stroke. She previously worked in Avista, the Daughters of Charity, Limerick.
