Following the Loose Women Body Stories campaign, Lisa took part in a photo shoot organised by The Sun newspaper. We caught up with her and talked to her about the shoot.
PMPS: Hey Lisa, can you tell us what inspired you to take part in the photo shoot after the Loose Women Body Stories campaign?
Lisa: I did it for a couple of reasons. It was a way for me to feel better about myself and my scars, and it was also a way to raise awareness of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).
PMPS: Can you tell us a bit more about the photo shoot? We’d love to know where it took place and what your experience was like. Did you enjoy it?
Lisa: It was an all expenses paid trip to London and I met other truly inspirational women. We had a lovely day, chatting about why we were all there, and of course, there’s strength in numbers! Everyone was lovely and the day was a positive experience xx
