Shauntelle Tynan is celebrating one year of being cancer-free.

The Carlow-woman spent a significant amount of time attending Texas Children's Hospital where she was treated for an extremely rare form of the disease.

Shan was diagnosed with Histiocytosis X in 2015, and went on to raise €700,000 for her treatment in the states.

After ringing the famous "bell" at the hospital, Shan announced that she was cancer-free, one year ago today.
