Bethan Elfyn was living quite normally 'but not really showing the world' her health issues.
"The youngest knows I wear oxygen in the house all the time and she said to me, 'I've got a cough mummy, but I don't need oxygen'."I kind of like the way kids are just really upfront about things.
She said hearing from other people had "helped me to face the reality", but she felt like "I'm helping other people as well". Bethan said "facing a transplant is one thing" but organ recipients have low immunity to other health issues and "live in just as much fear because the body can deny the organ at any point".Bethan first started "opening up" about her condition when she wore a special lanyard issued during the height of the Covid pandemic to say she needed to maintain social distancing.
"I remember feeling that that was the first time I was kind of opening up a little bit to telling people."And this is obviously another step in being far more open about it."
