I don’t speak much about my mental health, but I think its important here to highlight excellent care that I am currently receiving and maybe shine a light on improvements that can be made - especially in patients who have gone through cancer and are struggling .. ⬇️ Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I was dealing with postnatal depression. I was just about managing it and then I was diagnosed. I was only 26, with 2 young boys and enough on my plate, so when the diagnosis came, I bottled up my feelings and locked it away…

Not my most flattering photo but an important one!

This is me September 3rd 2012 after spending over 5 hours in surgery and 4 hours in recovery after a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. I was only 26 years old. 26… Imagine yourself going through something like that at that age, imagine your child going through it? And it doesnt stop once the surgery is done - it only begins. I know first hand unfortunately. The Kim you see in that photo has absolutely no idea whats going to happen next..

[Thread] This day 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. I was only 26. It is a hard day for me but I decided to look back on the good and the bad from the last 7 years, to show how far I have come.. ( using pictures!) This photo was taken 1 week after diagnosis. Shane, who was 4 at the time, was graduating playschool. Thats Evan beside him, only 2. 5 minutes before this photo, I was on the phone arranging my PET scan, Im upset here but I dont show it
