Welcome back to another episode of the Mortal and Strong podcast, and our FINAL episode of Season 1!
Today, we are wrapping the season up with the wonderful, and bubbly Gemma!
Gemma shares her story of multiple myeloma; from the 5 months of being dismissed for simply having a 'bad back', to coming to terms with such a diagnosis, all the way to where she's at now. Gemma also opens up about her different treatments, including her experience of a Stem Cell Transplant - a serious medical procedure used to replace damaged or destroyed blood cells with healthy ones.
Gemma describes that time of her life as like 'walking on a tightrope', trying to hold things together as best she can before she wobbles off. She shares many powerful insights into the impact that cancer, and continuous invasive treatments have on an individual.
Despite all that she has been through, Gemma is the epitome of 'Mortal and Strong' and continues to find joy in the little things. A huge thank you to Gemma for joining us and becoming another fantastic Voice in our Scars of Gold Campaign.
Thank you all so much for listening and joining us this Season, lots more to come from Mortal and Strong so stay tuned!
