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.
