Carol Haslam

In this episode, we sit down with Carol Haslam of Sarcoma Cancer Ireland. Carol not only is a board member and driving force behind the organization’s operations, but she is also a synovial sarcoma survivor and passionate patient advocate.

As our first international guest, Carol offers a deeply personal look at her diagnosis and treatment journey in Ireland. She reflects on the road to getting her diagnosis and then the practicalities of navigating care, stepping away from her career as a florist after discovering the sarcoma was in her hand, and what it meant to raise two young children while facing cancer—all while maintaining the unmistakable humor you’ll hear throughout our conversation.

Carol also shares the origin story of Sarcoma Cancer Ireland and illustrates what powerful, grassroots advocacy looks like. From helping bring a sarcoma specialist to Ireland to collaboration across the global sarcoma community, she shows how collective voices can drive meaningful change.

This episode is rich with storytelling, insight, vulnerability, and—yes—plenty of laughter.

It’s an inspiring and uplifting conversation you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive in!
