Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.


I’m joined by Juliet Ennis to talk about her son Jacob and his diagnosis of LCH - Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis at just 3 months old. 


Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis is a rare non-malignant condition which can occur in children and adults. 

Histiocytes are types of white blood cells which help fight infection and is treated with chemotherapy by the team at St Johns Ward Crumlin. 


We talk about the long and anxious road to diagnosis for something so rare.

A parents instinct when turned away with another cream to try.

The impact on their mental health as parents.

And why it’s so important to accept help.
