The Isolation of a Rare Medical Diagnosis with Betty Mukherjee

The Isolation of a Rare Medical Diagnosis with Betty Mukherjee

This time on In Can't Just Be Me, Anna is joined by Race Across The World's Betty Mukherjee, who won viewers' hearts this year with her down-to-earth humour and vulnerability as she travelled 15,000km from Japan to Indonesia with her brother, James. On the show, Betty revealed how a diagnosis of the rare condition MRKH syndrome at just 16 years old had altered the course of her life. Here, she shares with Anna how it felt getting such life-changing news at such a young age, and how the realities of the condition – like many people with MRKH, Betty was born with one kidney and no uterus – destroyed her confidence and ripped apart the vision of what she thought her life was going to look like. They discuss the isolation of having a medical condition that few people properly understand, and how finding escapism through travelling has always been a big part of Betty's life, but she wasn't prepared for how talking about her diagnosis on national television was going to change her life.
