Trusting your instinct - Kirsty's cervical cancer journey

As a devoted mother of five and a midwife, Kirsty is a cervical cancer survivor whose story unfolds with the discovery of subtle signs, leading to a diagnosis that altered the course of her life.

"Everyone knows that they will die one day, but it's easy to push that thought down and forget about it until it's right in front of you, reminding you at every corner."

Kirsty bravely shares her story to help others in ANZGOG's Survivors Teaching Students program, where she and many other survivors and carers share their lived experiences of gynaecological cancer with healthcare professional students. By teaching our doctors of tomorrow about these diseases, she hopes that one day her story might save a life.
