Jules was candid in sharing her experiences, both of supporting her husband who had has lived with leukaemia since1995, and of her own first-hand experience of breast cancer.
Jules has been very open about sharing her cancer experience, throughout, and explained to the students that she found great support and love from being honest with friends and family about her diagnosis. Jules was even in the unusual position of being filmed for a documentary while going through the process, and boldly shared her experiences as the cancer diagnosis happened.
She shared her insight with the trainee medics, both of how she and her husband felt and of their different individual coping strategies, and about their experience of treatments.

“We were delighted to invite Jules to speak with the students and answer questions, as part of their module studying cancer.
What came across very strongly from Jules’s experiences was how important it is for doctors to not only treat the disease, but to keep a focus on the whole patient.”
