Destiny story is a must listen for all females! Following a recent cervical cancer diagnosis she has set about raising awareness, particularly around the importance of cancer screening for females. Destiny is a fellow bikini competitor, a children's oncology nurse and an all round wonderful human! She inspires me daily and I am sure she will inspire you too.
This is a great episode. I do however apologise for the mic feedback noise my side. Luckily I don't do that much talking and Destiny's importance message is clear :)
In this episode we cover:
- Destiny's diagnosis and how she struggled to get seen by her GP due to covid
- Her treatment plan.
- Being a paediatric nurse who specialises in oncology and how that is a blessing and a curse with her own treatment.
- Knowing your own body and following your intuition, even when on prep
- The importance of smear testing and both of our experiences. Highlighting that they shouldn't be feared.
