Mortal And Strong - Episode 6 - Karianne's Story

Introducing another episode of Mortal And Strong and another Voice of the project...Karianne. Karianne is Voice No. 5 (of 100). Here we are privileged that Karianne has allowed us to do a special episode whereby we are capturing Karianne early on in her journey with breast cancer. Karianne began treatment for primary breast cancer in 2024 and is half way through her chemotherapy treatment. This is a special episode of sharing the real, raw insight into the highs and lows and unexpected challenges of adjusting to a diagnosis of breast cancer. Karianne is young, a mother and someone who has always worked. In this episode we talk about the side effects of chemotherapy, how Karianne found a positive and empowering way to tackle losing her hair, how she has consciously approached her children through the process and her outlook for life beyond treatment.
