Today we have a very special guest with a very special topic. We are honoured to have Jordan Ricks as a part of our show as she is such an amazing person who has a story that is just one big miracle. After falling pregnant, Jordan found that she started to vomit and get sick, which at first seemed normal, but eventually it grew to be completely out of control. She has a mutation in her DNA called CDH1 that causes her to be more prone to stomach and breast cancer, so when she let the doctors know she had this gene, a grave look crossed their faces and they discovered some terrible news. Jordan was in complete sorrow, but had this voice come to her that she was going to go through something similar to her dad, which would get her through this. “You knew this was coming. You’ve been prepared for this. Now go and be a miracle.” About Jordan and her genetic mutation 1:00Finding the cancer 9:40The cancer doesn’t define who she is 21:00Having to share the trial with her child 26:00Her experience has helped her help others 33:00If you are going through the darkest of times 39:30 “All 4 of the doctors came back and they all looked at me solemn and sad, and I was like ‘What’s going on?’ Then Dr. Ott, my surgeon, was the one who broke the news and told me ‘You are stage 4 with signet ring gastric cancer due to your CDH1 mutation.’ There I was, 29 years old, 6 months pregnant, sitting in the hospital with bad news. It was so shocking to my system.” 10:55 https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/ https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/ Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.
