Julia’s cancer journey
Earlier this week, ED! readers voted Julia’s Breast Cancer & Me show the Best Celebrity Documentary of 2022.
In an exclusive chat, she told us the reasons she wanted to do the documentary.
She said: “I knew I had to do this because I’ve always been a campaigner for cancer charities and to build awareness around cancer and women’s health issues as well.
“Obviously breast cancer is the number one diagnosed cancer in the world. So, being a woman, it’s something I’ve campaigned for as well, even before my own diagnosis.”
She also shared details of her check-up.
“It’s been a year and a bit since I’ve had my mastectomy. I’ve had some mid-round bloods to check that everything was as it should be, and it was all looking good.
“I’m going for my proper annual check-up in the New Year.
“I could have had it before Christmas but just wanted to have a lovely family Christmas and embrace it and enjoy it. I’m feeling positive about it – in fact I am feeling really positive about the New Year.”
