Let’s be Upfront about end of life. A topic almost too sad to talk about, but too important not to, palliative care and exploring end of life options are a reality for the 3000 Australians who die of breast cancer each year. While breast cancer survival rates have never been better, little is understood about palliative care and what end of life looks like.

Upfront is joined by Jules Domigan, who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 34. Jules, an advocate for talking openly and frankly about end of life, bravely opens up about balancing her fight for life, living life, finding the joy and leaving a legacy of love.

Jules died in April 2020. She was happy for us to continue to share this content and her story.
