Join us as we talk to Anna Lowvey.
Anna was a fit and healthy young mum from the Central Coast, NSW who had just celebrated her 30th birthday when her life changed in an instant after a sudden seizure which led to the discovery of a grade 3 astrocytoma. Ten weeks pregnant at the time, she needed to make the hardest decision to terminate the pregnancy in order to begin life-saving treatment.
In this episode, Anna shares her journey through emergency brain surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, alongside a rare window of time where she was approved to travel with two months of oral chemo. Anna and her partner bought a caravan and travelled the south coast with their 3 year old daughter, living off-grid and creating meaningful memories together in the midst of uncertainty. This is a story of resilience, motherhood, loss, and what life looks like when treatment ends but you are living with incurable cancer.
