Laura Donnelly's Story & Her Song - I'm Being Led Away by Midlands 103 published on 2022-06-09T08:25:33Z My Songs are like diaries before they happen. I've never done social media or let out of my own songs for that matter......but I will be short end of life soon with Rad51 MUTANT GENE causing ovarian cancer and TMBC. Having struggled to be still for scans, listening to this song was the only way to have a successful scan so maybe this will be useful for somebody else. And if you want hear a country and western song I have written please call the studio. All songs written, played and recorded by me. All the very best, Laura Donnelly With special thanks and dedication to Cathy, Daniel, Kate, young football Mayo player :-), Marie, Leigha, Lis Moran, Shaancy, Snehal. and all at University Hospital Galway. Also Dr Llyle, Prof O'Brien, Prof Barry and teams. Not forgetting Palliative Care The dashingly handsome buddy in the photo is Dfor. As in "D For Dog," who has been the best company throughout her journey along with her loving husband Peter.

I've been on the radio programme and liked the song - which is incredibly poignant. I realise this an incredibly difficult time for you and if at any moment you find you can't make a rehearsal just let me know. The choirs will have to manage. Family always comes first.
