In a video interview with the BBC in 2018, she said she thought she had a stomach bug. Even now, she struggles to explain her sudden downfall.
She stated it started with shaking, and she tried to treat it as serious food poisoning at first. It was almost too late by the time she was battling to breathe and informing her husband she was dying. 

Kintsugi was a revelation for her, according to her. She used to adore clothes, but she noted that after her illness, they became a challenge and another area of bitter compromise. She is delighted to have discovered a firm that creates beautiful garments for bodies like hers.
