Kate and Holly: Covid hits after two years of shielding


Listen Later

Our reality podcast. Kate has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, is a mum of two, wife to an immunocompromised Holly, and is awaiting a hysterectomy. A complex situation where Covid restrictions have brought more obstacles than anyone could have imagined.

After months of anxiety and years of pain, Kate is given a date for the surgery - but unfortunately it doesn't go smoothly.
Emotions take over as plans are thwarted. Expect tears as Kate records the most intimate and challenging moments - as they happen.
If you have any advice or wish to share your experiences with Kate, please email producer Amy Elizabeth at [email protected]
