In this episode of Bits of Me, I talk to Kath Sansom, whose life was changed overnight when she had a TVT mesh implant to help with minor incontinence issues. Kath explains how the controversial mesh implants have ruined lives by causing auto-immune issues and chronic pain and cutting through organs like the bladder, bowel and vagina, and shares her own experience of going from super fit to chronically in pain and deciding to set up a campaign to do something about it.
