In this episode, we hear from Lisa Gosnay, who at 29, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia.
Lisa is an amazing person and has an extraordinary story. In this two-parter, we hear about her initial diagnosis and treatment. We learn about her career struggles, having been very career-focused and her determination to keep going forward, despite the impact on her health; and her ultimate acceptance of her condition.
On this podcast, we usually focus on blood cancer, but this is about a blood disorder that can have a profound impact on an individual and as Lisa termed it, Aplastic Anaemia is known as the ugly sister to Leukaemia.
There is a stem cell transplant in this story, but we will hear more about that part of Lisa's experience in Part Two, coming soon.
As always, it is a huge privilege to be able to speak with such inspirational guests on this podcast and I really do hope that this conversation inspires you, too.
Please share it far and wide!
Thank you for listening.
