Finding joy and laughter with an incurable condition
Former Casualty actor, Shalisha James-Davis meets others, who, like her, have received a life changing diagnosis and a future they never imagined for themselves.
Actor, Shalisha James Davis was just 28 years old when she heard the devastating words ‘you have a rare cancer – mucinous ovarian cancer’. Now three years on and currently cancer free, she steps away from the dramatic storylines of stage and screen to share her own real-life story and connects with others, who, like her have faced a life changing diagnosis. Still figuring out how to move forward following her diagnosis, Shalisha wants to know how they have navigated their way to a fulfilling life.
The series explores the undeniable realities of living with a life changing and potentially life limiting condition, but there’s also humour, lightness and inspiring stories of saying “yes’ to life.
Episode 1. Shalisha meets 33-year-old Meg who was diagnosed with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, a lung disease that occurs when the immune system overreacts to inhaled substances causing inflammation in the lungs. It’s a progressive and incurable lung disease, but she’s determined to live her best life and help others to do the same.
