Ever named a tumor? Today’s guest did! Julia Henderson, an honest and humorous cancer legend, joins us for part 1 of her story of rectal cancer.

Julia doesn’t hold back. She tells it like it is. She talks about Mum guilt for being sick, conflicting medical opinions and having to choose for herself the path forward, and perfectionism in her world - how to optimise her life to give her herself the best chance of staying in remission vs being self-critical for stepping outside of the lines of what is considered “healthy”.

We love Julia. Glynn and Rose both want to be friends with her. Take a listen, and you probably will too.
