Hi guys, welcome back to PLT behind closed doors. I'm your host, NATO Leary and in this

week's episode we are joined by the lovely Olivia Rose Smith. She talks about being diagnosed

with cancer at 21 years old, finding her identity again and she even gives us an exclusive

on her new relationship. It wasn't until I lost my head, I realised all of these other

things about me, it was deeper down than just on the surface the way that I looked. I realised

I am a passionate, I'm confident, I've got a good sense of humour and I didn't realise

any of that until I lost what I thought was me.

Hi Olivia. Hi. Thanks so much for joining us. Oh thank you for having me. It's so nice

to have you here. Oh my god, I am so excited to be here. Oh my god, when I got invited

I cried. Literally I was so excited. Yeah. Oh my god, don't that get me emotional. That's

true. It's so massive and I've been listening to them and thinking how amazing they are

and when Lauren came on I was so excited for her. And then I got the email and I was like,

oh my god, yes, replied within about 30 seconds. Oh my god, I can't tell you how much it

means to me. We were absolutely so excited to have you here today. You've been on this huge

journey that you've shared online and we really want to get you in today to talk about

that incredible journey that you have been through. So I'd like to start kind of at the

beginning for you if we could with your journey with cancer, kind of how you first found

out about your cancer, how you first diagnosed. So it was two years ago now, I must have

been and I was on holiday in New Yorker and I started feeling a bit of a pain in my chest

and I didn't know what it was. I noticed that it kept coming back when I drank alcohol

so I'd have a glass of warm flunch or something and then I'd be like, good mum, this pain

is back again and like it kept happening and then we noticed that it happens every time
