Holly May Cookson was diagnosed with CML Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia at the age of 27. Diagnosed only two years ago, in this episode Holly discusses with us all what her interpretation of living with an invisible illness is truly like. It is safe to say within society cancer is one of the most known and feared diagnosis there is and Holly most certainly does not hold back on the truths of what experiencing cancer as your reality can truly be like.
If there is anyone who would like any help or advice regarding anything discussed within this episode or CML, please do not hesitate to contact myself or others within the community at The Normal Kind of Disabled across all social media platforms, alternatively you can email at [email protected]

The Normal Kind of Disabled
There will not be one topic off limits as I uncover my story & experience of what it is like being & becoming "The Normal Kind Of Disabled”. My name is Jenny Watts and I am just simply a woman with a disability who after having my disability for a decade, dealing with the magnitude of it by myself due to the lack of support & knowledge out there, lead me to a destination I like to call breakdown central where I had the luxury of experiencing the biggest nervous breakdown that almost cost me my life. Now having got my life back on track, reflecting upon all the lessons learned an hindsight to date. In this first Normal Kind of Disabled podcast series I will discuss topics that I feel play a big part in living a life alongside a disability or illness and everything I have learnt in regards to them and advice for others experiencing this journey. Topics such as diagnosis, re-connecting with family and friends, how to manage and kick bad habits and substances we may find ourselves abusing to get through the day, relationships, sex, anxiety, re-connecting with ourselves, coping methods, pain, you name it my blabber mouth is discussing it and highlighting what the very real honest realities of what living with a disability or illness can be like.... all BS aside!.Join Podchaser to...
