In this episode Kim shares with me the story of her cancer experience to date. We chatted about treatment during covid and how she stayed in lock down to make sure she didn’t get sick and miss her surgeries. Kim also shares three ways she feels cancer has changed her life. Her positivity is real and honest. Kim has a huge heart and I am happy to be living in the same community with her. Thank you Kim for being here and being YOU!
