Ep 4 Sandra, the wonderful poet!

Living with Ovarian Cancer’ is a Podcast full of inspiring stories told by Women or their loved ones, who themselves have lived with, or are still living with Ovarian Cancer.

Each Woman’s story is a gift; unique and is told from the heart in their own words. I am your host, Diane Evans-Wood.

In this episode I am honoured to be talking to Sandra Koniotes who was diagnosed with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer and is now living disease free. Sandra talks about the symptoms that led her to be diagnosed initially and how her diagnosis affected her. She went on to tell me about the two major surgeries that she had to endure, one of which was midway through her course of chemotherapy. Sandra exudes positivity and told me how she keeps going and how she maintains hope. In this Podcast, Sandra read a poem to me that she wrote which I found very moving and reminded me of how I felt when diagnosed.

Sandra is so passionate about telling her story, not only in the hope of raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer but also as a source of hope and support for others going through this journey.
