Julieanne was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer, which came as a shock to the mum of two small kids despite regular screenings for two decades. Since diagnosis in late 2020 she has undergone aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, brachytherapy and has recently been treated surgically for a recurrence, something not often encouraged on radiated tissues. She has learnt the hard way about managing disease that is silent in symptoms, has a low prognosis, and is normally screened away or treated at stages much earlier than hers.
