Hibernian Radio Sept. 5, 2026

This week on Hibernian Radio, Mike Houlihan welcomes Nuala Murphy for her first appearance on the show. Originally from County Meath and now a Chicago area real estate agent, Nuala shares her remarkable journey through stage 3 breast cancer and her road back to an all clear. Nuala talks candidly about her diagnosis, mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, lymph node surgery and the long road to recovery. She also discusses the importance of screening, exercise, nutrition and understanding lymphedema, while highlighting free cancer survivor resources available through Lutheran General and UIC. Nuala’s commitment to the fight goes well beyond her own recovery. She talks about breast cancer research in Galway, upcoming fundraising efforts in Chicago and the need for better access to imaging, follow up care and affordable treatment. In true Hibernian fashion, the show also features community news, upcoming Hibernian Media events and the traditional reading of the obituaries. It’s an honest, hopeful and occasionally cheeky conversation about beating cancer, helping others and giving back to the community.
