In 2021, she underwent a single mastectomy back in 2021 to remove a tumour.<\/p>\n Since then, Julia has completely given up alcohol, something that she says some people find \u201cinfuriating\u201d. In an interview with\u00a0The Times last year, she revealed that doctors warned her that every drink above a certain limit significantly increases the likelihood of the cancer returning, admitting that \u201cdeath looked me in the eyes\u201d.<\/p>\n She told the publication: \u201cI get a lot of pushback on social media about this. People go, \u2018I was healthy, I go to the gym, I got cancer, and now it\u2019s metastasised, and I\u2019ve got secondary cancer. So, are you blaming me for my illness? No. All I\u2019m saying is, this is what I went through. It was a wake-up call, and it made me look at life differently.<\/p>\n \u201cIt made me prioritise my sleep, emotional health, and gave me more time for my loved ones. If I drink more than four units of alcohol a week, my risk of recurrence goes up by 28 per cent. But people find me giving up drinking infuriating.\u201d<\/p>\n Her health condition took a hit on her confidence and her bank balance, and forced her to rethink her approach to life as a whole. She reflected: \u201cI am very, very fortunate, and overall, I\u2019m having a wonderful life.<\/p>\n
