When was Julia Bradbury diagnosed with breast cancer?

First of all, Julia Bradbury revealed she had breast cancer in September 2o21.

She first found a lump in her breast in 2020.

This was subsequently revealed to be benign cluster of cysts.

Then a mammogram this year didn’t return anything unusual.

However, during a follow-up appointment, doctors found a shadow on her breast which turned out to be cancer.

She was then forced to prepare for breast cancer surgery to remove her left breast.

Julia breast cancer surgery was ‘overwhelming’

Julia told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “It changes your world forever in an instant. There is no preparing you for those words. You hear ‘cancer’ and your brain starts to explode.”

Julia recently admitted that her breast cancer surgery was “overwhelming”.

The mum-of-three said: “I feel sad that such a brutal treatment is necessary in so many breast cancer cases. But I choose life.

“I will do anything I can to live to see my children grow up. If this was happening to any other member of my family, I would swap places in a heartbeat.”

Julia is currently in recovery at home.
