We lost a child to cancer. We had a go fund me organised. It never reached anything like the amounts she had and I accounted for every penny. It’s such an incredibly expensive time when your child is sick. I was very very grateful for it. Meant I could spend time with my child which was so so precious without worrying about money.

We are literally only back on our feet now though years later. The go fund me covered travel and the like. We did not profit and there was no money extra. We still were broken from it financially never mind our hearts.

I do still donate to local causes. But I’m much more wary of bigger ones like hers was where I’d have no connection. Like an eejit I did donate too but what can I say I took her to be more honourable than she is.

Honestly don’t follow her with the last year but I actually feel so uncomfortable with the use of Seamus’ name here. She is an absolute disgrace to be referencing him the way she does by first name. I know him through my work and he is absolutely not called Seamus. He is Professor O’Reilly, an incredibly well respected and professional oncologist. He treats all patients the same. He looked after a very close relative of mine and we did not get special treatment either, it just boils my blood that she doesn’t address him by his title and with the respect he deserves.
sorry, I just feel very strongly about this in particular. She is a pathetic attention seeker.

I’m a nurse working on a Covid ward and we are really struggling. So I can’t tell ye how frustrating it is when I open Insta to see her just deciding they don’t have Covid because it’s their normal yearly cold. For most people, Covid is the VERY same as a normal cold and won’t feel different than any other colds or flu that you have had so it is impossible to just tell you don’t have it. She said the other night Roisin gets it every year so she knows as a mother it’s not Covid. An antigen test is not good enough (I’ve had negative antigen but positive PCR and know many others who have too).

When she has 100K+ followers she has a responsibility to either 1) follow the public health advice or 2) not post about it if she’s not going to follow the guidelines. People will see her only doing an antigen test or deciding it’s only a cold and they will copy her.

Sorry for the rant but the hospitals are chaotic the last few weeks and bloggers advertising to not get a PCR test when they have very obvious symptoms is just killing me as this isn’t the only time I’ve seen it.

Please get a PCR test if you read this Shannen - it very well could be negative and I truly hope it is as you are immunosuppressed and I’ve seen what it can do. But it is disrespectful to all the nurses and doctors who have cared for you to not get tested if there’s even a small chance you could be spreading Covid.

And at last!
An oncologist in Cork, not Seamus, has done a study in crowdfunding for cancer treatments abroad. Saying it should be regulated. On rte news website.
Delighted.
The can of worms needs opening.

She’s so mad for attention

“does antibiotics make anyone else tired”

No chicken. Makes everyone else feels great. Last course of antibiotics I was on i ran the new York marathon and then swam across the Atlantic

Unbelievable! That’s all I have to say about this girl. It’s like she went out of her way to catch an infection of some sort. The shoulder thing must not have had much attention,she also tried the cut finger before this,the cold sore ( none gave as much attention as she wanted) and as for the plans she had made for this week ( well,they wouldn’t have brought in enough content for attention,maybe the opposite!)She thinks that being ill in hospital is her best bet for the maximum amount of sympathy and attention and of course coming up to Christmas,she is probably hoping that it will bring in some “pity” freebies perhaps. Sorry to be harsh,but this is the way she makes it look. I have also never came across anyone to take a picture of their arm after bloods been taken and post it on social media! Attention seeking at its best!

Edit-I just saw her post now! Who actually gets someone to take a picture of them in a hospital bed looking as happy as larry with tea and a sandwich?????? Jesus Christ! I’ve seen enough! I really have! Who follows this absolute attention seeking yoke,actually likes her and thinks this is normal? I’ve been in hospital numerous times for something. I’ve also given birth numerous times and not once have I ever asked a nurse or health care assistant or anyone to take a picture of me in the bed,not even with my babies! I know how busy they are!
Shannen news flash for you-the hospital staff are far too busy to be taking silly pictures of you,you are not the only person on that ward! They have more important things to be doing! If that’s who you asked to take that picture! You silly,ignorant and selfish person!

Is she for real? Claiming she wouldn’t mind paying for a dates dinner or splitting it? She won’t even pay for a freezer and she has €200,000 in the bank from the GFM.
Talk of splitting it? Pity she wouldn’t split her fortune with other more deserving cases such as some of the GFM with children’ With cancer who need support.
She’s a joke and a hypocrite . No wonder she’s losing followers in the hundreds

I just watched the Vicky Phelan update for the third time. That woman embodies all that it means to be dignified, respectful and brave. Despite all of the adversity that she has faced, she maintains a positive demeanour and actually updates her concerned followers- even though she owes them nothing. Thanks a restaurant for comping her and her daughter lunch. Shannen on the other hand- Anglo Irish were more transparent than her.

Shannen- is constantly whining. God forgiving me- but the girl has shown herself to be incredibly greedy, flouts covid restrictions the whole time, and grossly exaggerated her symptoms for financial gain. That she has actually had the audacity to comment on Vicky’s page- I wouldn’t have the nerve if I’d pulled what she had. I don’t know what it is- her whole identity is tied up in “Big C” but thank god for her- she’s absolutely fine. And please god- it’ll stay that way. Until she donates that surplus money to charity- im going to see her as the merciless schemer that she is. If she had raised the money with full transparency- it was to make their lives comfortable.. blah blah. Instead she painted herself as borderline palliative and didn’t clarify until the money was in her account. Fuck, Vicky would give anything for another year. Shannen gave her souls for a couple of hundred grand.

I can’t watch her. The constant “I don’t want to be on here being all negative” continues to be negative. “I don’t want to be on here moaning” continues to moan

I’m sat here after listening to a poor child who has scoliosis cry because he feels forgotten about and this self indulgent woman never stops.
I am on the verge of deleting my Instagram. It is a community of narcissistic people who need to disappear

Hi All long time lurker,

This girl is actually scaring the crap out of me. As someone who has gone through the same course of treatment as her although a few years ago now, I haven't gone anywhere in over 18 months. Dr's nurse's and my family worked hard and sacrificed so much to keep me alive im not about to be that disrespectful.

What really has my back up is showing what medication she is taking for her Sinuses. Every transplant patient is different all these years later im still not allowed to put ibuprofen in any form in my body. Yet she posted a packet of nurofen. I hope that any cancer patient that follows her are intelligent enough to contact their specialist nurse and not take advice from Shannen.

Its actually so annoying that the ones who don't need stuff gifted, are given it for free...

Genuinely, I'll never buy from currys again... might not do anything in the grand scheme of things.. but still...

I'm finding the last week so overwhelming with them all pumping out the links and get this and buy that and this would be a great Xmas present ..


I haven't seen one of them acknowledge that Christmas might be hard for some people etc.... its all push push push..buy buy buy... 🥺

Rant over xx

Family aside, I’ve never rooted for anyone as much as I am for Vicky. I don’t even want to think about it but it will be a sad, sad day in Ireland when that lady passes. I can’t even imagine what she is going through. Life can be so unfair.

the absolute cheek of her to say that moving house is up there with illness or death.
Yes it’s a total pain to move house and pack up boxes, but esp this week with Vicky phelan back in the news, it’s so tone deaf. I’m sure Vicky would give anything to have only the inconvenience of a house move in front of her.. instead she has to contemplate leaving her beautiful children forever at such a young age.
Jesus shannen, read the room and stop sounding so silly, self indulgent and pathetic.
And grow the f up… and stop looking for sympathy for ordinary every day things that people do- colds, flus, moving.. just shut up and get on with it.
Interesting to check her social blades.. losing hundreds of followers every month. Evidently I’m not the only one who’s sick of her self indulgent rubbish

She's delighted to be in hospital.
Jesus Christ, someone get that girl help. She's thrilled.

And while staff are at it, could they explain to her that because of her carry on, throwing caution to the wind and being out and about, is risky for her. That's the reason she has an infection. Not to mention what omicron could do to her.
I think she's been blazē about the whole infection thing, almost willing herself to get sick for notice.

Oh, and Shannen, while you're reading here, have a look at Vicky Phelan's tweet, meeting Charlie Bird today. Might make you realise how pointless the trivial shite is that you moan on about every day.

I know of a few similar cases
Its really starting to annoy me
And it's not only adult gofundmes
I feel so sorry for the genuine cases where people just get on with the cross they are given god love them .
My teenage daughters dad just got on with it,was given 6-12 months,he just accepted it,got on with it,never asked for a cent,never asked for anything from anyone for that matter,he got chemo which was absolutely gruelling,he still tried his best and fought to end,organising what bit of money he had himself to go towards paying for some of her college,he was humble to the end and he didn’t have alot bless him,he didn’t even get the 6 months,he passed away and didn’t want our daughter to know because he didn’t want to upset her. He sent her a lovely letter to tell her he loved her and always will and that was the last one. We were not together,but I can tell ye one thing,he was the total opposite to this grabby selfish so and so. She makes me sick! I notice she makes sure to have that thing on her lip on full show now as well,anything for a bit of pity to go along with her miserable,spoilt faces that she makes.

The drama never ends. She’s in hospital with a high temperature!
But shes happy now. She’s stating she’s in Hospital “because of cancer”, she’s not!!! Stop the lying. If you had a high temperature and sick you wouldn’t be coherent and documenting everything on your phone non stop. It would be the last thing on your mind. She spent the last two months since Halloween complaining about entertaining the kid, moving house , Halloween decorations etc etc. Wait for the drama “poor me in hospital for Christmas”, send in the presents🙄 Jesus there’s parents living with a terminal diagnosis this Christmas that would crawl on the floor to be at home with their children in between coping with persistant Pain and vomiting and that’s the truth.
