Hayley Greer & Ulcerative Colitis

Hello! Welcome back to another episode of That’s So Chronic! This week I’m chatting to Hayley Greer, who was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis just as she was finishing school, leaving home and ready to start her first year at university. 

In this episode Hayley explains what that first year uni life was like post diagnosis, the years of remission she experienced soon after, the next big flare which lead her to being in hospital over New Years and having a subtotal colectomy, which eventually lead to her living life with one less major organ and an ileostomy. 

Hayley also speaks about how being diagnosed and having many surgeries has affected her mentally which I personally really resonated with and I’m sure most of you will too! 

Make sure you’re following Hayley on Instagram: @hayleygreer (I particularly love her reels!)

Little did we know but we actually recorded this episode on World Ostomy Day! Which feels very fitting. I can’t wait for you to listen, and as always, let me know what you think!
