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.
