Navigating Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum with Cerivcal Cancer // Anastasia McBride


Listen Later

In todays episode we are joined by one of Katherine’s clients Anastasia McBride. Anastasia shares her journey through pregnancy and hearing the news no mother wants to hear during their first pregnancy that there has been a diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Anastasia’s story is incredibly raw, vulnerable, emotional and and she shares from her heart.

What we chat about:

  • How she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
  • How she navigated her options with treatment whilst being pregnant.
  • Chemotherapy treatment during pregnancy and beyond.
  • Her birthing options and what it looked like for her to deliver her beautiful boy.
  • Postpartum and beyond and how she is navigating motherhood with cancer.
  • Anastasia received wonderful news in December that her most recent PET scan was clear of cancer cells. Her story is one of determination, strength, empowerment and there were many tears shed.

    Thank you for sharing your story with us and this is a reminder to go and get your cervical screening test done. 🙏🧡
