Ep 9 Tamara, an Aussie in Scotland

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 talking to Tamara Campbell, who describes how she endured the death of her Mum in Australia at the same time as Lockdown restrictions started in the UK. Tamara was also going through her own health issues at the same time, and she tells me about the symptoms that prompted her to seek medical advice that led to a diagnosis of Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer. This episode is incredibly heartfelt as you can imagine, because what we talk about is still very raw as it only happened last year during an already difficult time due to the Pandemic.

Content warning: we talk about bereavement and loss when Tamara’s Mum died. We also talk about making a will and end of life wishes.
