Married to the Land

Embark on an emotional journey with Corissa Jackson, a resilient woman from Cunnamulla in Queensland. At the onset of her early 30s, Corissa found herself navigating the challenges of motherhood with a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old, all while immersed in the demanding life on the land. In a candid interview,
Corissa steps outside her comfort zone to share the intricacies of a particularly challenging period in her life. Corissa reveals that on the 6th of October 2021, she received the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 triple negative breast cancer with metastases to the lymph, lung, and chest wall. She was informed that it was incurable, and after a whirlwind of consultations with doctors and nurses, Corissa was accepted onto a trial in Brisbane.
The trial required her presence every week, and every six weeks, she had to stay for the entire week. Despite being given about a year to live, Corissa's journey unfolds as she faces the unimaginable with courage and strength. Join us as we delve into the raw and unfiltered narrative of a young mother facing adversity, shedding light on the realities of life in remote Australia, and the resilience required when confronted with a life-altering diagnosis.
