YAY! We’re BACK! Thank you for being so patient while I took a break for the summer holidays here in NZ!
Today’s episode is with Shana Pereira, and we are discussing her heart and kidney transplant, and honestly, at times you will think it is actually the plot of a movie... But more on that towards the end of the episode!
In this episode Shana talks us through her story that starts on Christmas eve 2015, how she felt when she discovered that her kidneys were failing, how the organ transplant process works, and the series of events that led to a Christmas miracle in 2020. Shana also chats about the importance of faith, holding on to hope, and being the COO of your medical team.
*content warning* Shana does discuss her near death experience, which may be uncomfortable for some listeners, so please take care while listening!
