Behind Diagnoses: Patients - E12: Leiomyosarcoma ft. Dafina Malovska Peer Med Podcast

    • Medicina

On this episode of "Behind Diagnoses: Patients", a Peer Med Podcast special series we hear from Dafina Malovska, who was diagnosed with a gluten disorder when she really had Uterine Cancer. The only option to save her life was to have a total hysterectomy which meant the removal of her uterus and both ovaries. Womb cancer deprived her of having her own children. and placed her into immediate surgical menopause after the operation. 
Now, she's become a powerful patient advocate that wants to change the face of healthcare in order to ensure more and greater access for care, screening, follow up and more for Female-Assigned at Birth people in the United Kingdom.
