Lucinda Roberts: Being an Organ Transplant Recipient and Health as a Journey

Julie Hest Season 2 Episode 9

In this episode UK woman Lucinda Roberts shares her lived experience of receiving the diagnosis of an incurable autoimmune disease at 17.  She shares the story of her health journey and it has been a journey full of ups and downs and twists and turns including the realization of her mortality, her hedonist phase, being in liver failure and her hope for the future by being an organ donor recipient in her early thirties.   She also spoke of her passion for art, and the written word, her joy of animals, and her lived experience of being an organ donor recipient.  

I appreciated Lucinda’s candour, her willingness to share her experience and bring more light to the reality of needing an organ transplant and how accessible that is or is not in the UK, as well as sharing her learnings on health and wellbeing.  Part of shining a light on this area of health has been to make the information assessable in a children’s book called Lucy’s Liver Transplant which is currently translated into nine different languages.
