3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: O'Connor twenty seven years of age. It's been a tough

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty for Kim and her fiancee Dylan. Dylan

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: gave us a call. Kim found out that she's got

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: stage two breast cancer. Back in October last year. The

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: guys were going to get married, and obviously the money

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: that was going towards the wedding has now obviously had

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: to go towards treatment for her stage two breast cancer.

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're having a tough time as things continue to

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: change in a climate where it is unpredictable, and with

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: Kimberly's sickness, that juggled just adds to the how ridiculous

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: and out of control the whole scenario is.

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: So we're going to give let's give Dylan a call first.

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Dylan was the one that made us aware of this,

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: and Kim has got no idea about daring and I

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: have a chat to her, but hopefully she's feeling okay today.

Speaker 3: player looking.

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: At No, I don't look that much like an AFL player.

Speaker 1: got no idea your lovely fiance. We've been having a

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: bit of a chat at the moment. It's been a

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: tough year twenty two. Oh, Kim, it's been a tough

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: year for you, hasn't it.

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: Oh, look, it's been tough for everyone, but yeah, it's

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: been particularly rubbish Kimberly.

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: Before we get onto your condition, let's talk about the

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: wedding plans, like where were they and what's happened here?

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: We We were supposed to get married in September last year. Yeah,

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: I'm coming to terms with all of this. Get married

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: in September last year, but we postponed because of COVID

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: and so we'd rescheduled to January of this year. But

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: I was diagnosed just at the end of October, so

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: I was going to be in the middle of chemo.

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: So we have just postponed in definitely at the moment, right.

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Okay, you're a frontline working yourself. You're a nurse, correct?

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: Kim Well, I actually work as an cancer nurse. Ironically.

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: So there you are. You've seen the people that you help,

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: and you understand what's going on, probably more than the

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: average person. Kimberly. What does stage two breast cancer mean?

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: What does it look like? What is it?

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: In my case?

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: I was really lucky it was. I'm taking it was

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: a stage two purely based on its size. A CINEI

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: tumor was six centimeters, So I'm very lucky in a

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: sense that it hasn't spread anywhere.

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: How did you find it, Kimberly, I was.

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: Actually scrubbing off fake ten in the shower and so

55
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: I had to had to scribe a bit.

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: More sure, and that's when I.

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: Came across it to wash my chest in the shower

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: like I normally would. I couldn't feel it, which kind

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: of blows my mind a little bit because it's a

60
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: six and ameter to think it'd be.

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: A bit more and you're getting chemotherapy once a week.

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Does that knock you around a bit? Kim? It does. Yeah.

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: The first regime I was on just for Christmas pretty

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: much completely wrote me off. I felt awful while I

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: was on that one.

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Right now, you guys, obviously you were preparing for the

67
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: wedding before you found out about this, and obviously you've

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: got to save a lot of money for a wedding

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: that's been pushed to the side now, but you've had

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: to filter that money in a different areas now. And

71
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I hear as well that you're on a drug, a

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: chemotherapy drug that's not covered by the government.

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: Yes, so the treatment I'm receiving at the moment is

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: made up of free drugs. One of the drugs cost

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: sixty two hundred dollars. Yes, a lot of a lot

76
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: of our money has gone into my treatment, unfortunately, so

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: paying for that drug and a few other things we

78
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: had to do leading up to starting treatment.

79
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: So yes, it.

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: Has unfortunately been a very expensive venture.

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: I know it's hard to find the wording. And as

82
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: part of the money saving, you've moved back into the parents' house.

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: Is that right, you're Dylan's parents house or your house.

84
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: Kimberly, we're moving back in with Dylan's parents at the

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: very lovely and they're taking us in.

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really like the in laws, Kimbly. Let's be honest,

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: now that you're on the spot, are they Okay? Listen

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: the Outlaws.

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: They've been very, very lovely. Dylan and I've been together

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: for eleven years, so I really love that.

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: I love that you guys are thinking about the future

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: as well, because you obviously would love a little Kimberly

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: and a little deal on the way. So have you

94
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: been storing some eggs as well, Kimberly.

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: Yes, So before I started treatment back in early November,

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: we went through the process of collecting eggs then freezing embryos.

97
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: So we're very lucky to have I think we have

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: eleven little frozen babies.

99
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Wow. Some God, life was meant to be boring. That's

100
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: not cheap either, is it.

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: I was fortunate they have what's called an oncology package,

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: which makes it a little bit cheaper for us, which

103
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: we're very grateful for. But I think that was a

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: that was around five thousand dollars too.

105
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Wow. Well, you know what, there's an interesting situation that's

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: occurred here as Kimberly meets Fitzi. But for different reasons,

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe it. Kimberly, Fitzi has a wig collection

108
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: that I would suggest you would be jealous of. Now,

109
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: I believe you've spent fifteen hundred dollars on a weeks

110
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Fitzy has spent probably the same amount just because he

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: liked to do eighties film clip.

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: Now, I get mine from Patty's Markets, and if you would,

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: if you would like the latest mullet, I've got so

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: many selections for you, killing vacularly.

115
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: I have the same haircut at the moment.

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: Here you do, you do, You're.

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: You know what we look at you two. You're such

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: a beautiful couple. You've had to push back this wedding

119
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: and obviously you're thinking of your future as well. Guys,

120
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: your story touched us and we just wanted to tell

121
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: you that we've got you back, and we want to

122
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: put that money back into your wedding fund and also

123
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: for your IVF. So, Kim and Dylan, we're going to

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: be giving you ten thousand dollars just to cover that money.

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, yep, that's just to breathe a little bit easier, Kimberly,

126
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: and you can put some of that money extra money

127
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: into your chemotherapy drug and hopefully that will help you

128
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more in the future.

129
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: Love, we've had plenty of expenses.

130
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: Well that's I don't have words.

131
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, no worries. It's just to start

132
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: far up, Fitzy.

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: It's not over there because you know that you've been

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: struggling to pay off your mortgage as well. So we're

135
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: going to ease the burden a little bit there with

136
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: an extra five thousand. So we want to give you,

137
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: guys fifteen thousand dollars just to just to relax a

138
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: little bit tonight. How much would that mean to you, guys?

139
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: I I just don't even have words.

140
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: That is wild. Thank you so so much.

141
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: Definitely takes a little bit off our mind.

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going. I haven't worked since I was diagnosed,

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: and I won't be able to go back for another

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,000
