Cancer survivors meet the doctors who helped save their lives in moving show

BROADCASTER Evelyn O'Rourke brings two fellow cancer survivors face-to-face with medical researchers in a moving documentary.

RTE reporter O'Rourke, who got the disease while pregnant, meets brave mums Caitriona Greene and Ann Marie O'Sullivan who tell their stories tonight on her TG4 show Biseach on Ailse.

She meets the determined researchers working behind the scenes to find the new cancer-beating drugs that helped save their lives.

Like O'Rourke - who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, just two days after finding out she was pregnant with her second son Ross - a shock cancer diagnosis also coincided with pregnancy for Donegal school teacher Caitriona.

O'Rourke has spoken in the past about going through chemotherapy and surgery, all while minding baby Oisin, who was just six months old when she was diagnosed.
