Episode 122: Home Haemodialysis a Patient’s Perspective

  • Summary

  • In this inspiring episode of the "Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast", host Dee Moore sits down with Gemma Savory, a resilient freelance copywriter from Staffordshire, England. Gemma shares her incredible story of battling both kidney failure and stage 4 cancer for nearly a decade. Despite the odds, she now shows no evidence of disease and has taken control of her dialysis treatment at home.

    Gemma discusses the challenges of managing dual diagnoses, the emotional and physical toll of simultaneous chemotherapy and dialysis, and how she found strength in her support network. She emphasises the importance of persistence, self-advocacy, and staying informed about treatment options.

    The episode also delves into the world of home haemodialysis from a patient's perspective. Gemma offers valuable insights into the transition from in-centre to home dialysis, the benefits of shared care, and the autonomy it brings. She shares practical advice for those considering home haemodialysis, highlighting the flexibility and empowerment it can offer.

    Join Dee and Gemma for a conversation filled with hope, determination, and practical advice for anyone facing the challenges of chronic illness. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or simply seeking inspiration, this episode is a testament to the power of resilience and self-empowerment.
