In this episode I am talking to Kate Mitchell who was living her best life when she suddenly developed excruciating abdominal pain that led to the diagnosis of High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer with BRCA mutation during the Covid pandemic. A catalogue of events turned Kates life upside down and she goes on to tell her story of how the cancer diagnosis significantly affected her and her relationship with her then partner. As Kate moves forward with life without her partner, we discuss how difficult it is for younger people to start new romantic relationships which is something that drastically impacts younger people after a cancer diagnosis.
In this episode we mentioned the following organisations.
