In this episode of Your History Your Story, we are honored to have as our guest, my friend and former colleague, Patrick Walsh. Pat is not only an author, but also a prostate cancer survivor who has turned his personal journey into a mission of hope and advocacy.

In our conversation, Pat will share what it was like to first hear his diagnosis, the emotions of denial, the challenges of surgery and recovery and how he came to write his book, “Still Smiling: A Conversation with a Prostate Cancer Survivor”. We’ll also talk about the importance of early detection, support systems and addressing the psychological impact of the disease.

Since writing his book, Pat experienced a recurrence of prostate cancer and will share how he faced that difficult news and subsequent treatments with focus, determination and hope.

Welcome to Your History Your Story! Today, our guest is Leora O’Carroll—an Emmy-nominated writer, producer and accomplished musician. Leora is here to talk about the 2019 book she co-authored with her mother Maureen, titled: “Maureen O’Carroll: A Musical Memoir of an Irish Immigrant Childhood”.

The book shares the inspiring story of Leora’s mother, Maureen, who grew up in Australia as one of ten children of Irish immigrant parents who had fled their homeland in the mid 1920’s to escape possible reprisals due to their political activism.

Guided by the values of her parents in a household filled with resilience, community and a love of music, Maureen went on to become an acclaimed cellist, performing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and other ensembles around the world. She was also a successful recording artist, soloist and teacher.
