Episode Description from the Publisher

At 25, Kate was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma — a rare soft-tissue sarcoma usually seen in children. The tumor resulted in the sudden loss of the ability to carry children.In this episode she shares the whirlwind of fertility preservation (with only days to decide), chemo, the support of her family and the Western community, and how she turned the trauma into Kate’s Cause — raising funds so other young women facing cancer don’t have to choose between treatment and their future family.We also talk about the brutal leg injury that came exactly one year later, the mental fight to get back on a horse, her faith, and why the simple message “just keep moving” has become her mantra.If you or someone you love is facing cancer and fertility questions, this conversation is for you.Connect with Kate’s CauseFacebook & Instagram: Kate’s CauseEmail: kate@katescause.org#KatesCause #CancerSurvivor #Oncofertility #BarrelRacing #Cowgirl #FertilityPreservation #YoungAdultCancerThanks for watching the @Totalfeeds YouTube Channel!
