No Filter Erin Barnett Just Had A Hysterectomy At 28
After gracing our screens on reality TV Erin Barnett had a battle on her hands… to get doctors to take her seriously. The 28 year old quickly became a public figure after starring on Love Island Australia, and surviving the jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, sharing her difficult journey with Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with thousands of adoring fans.
In this conversation, Erin shares how she landed on the decision to change her life by getting a hysterectomy, and why so many doctors tried to change her mind.
