Julia Bradbury on Breast Cancer and the Power of Nature


Listen Later

TV presenter and nature lover Julia Bradbury joins Dr Oscar Duke to share her breast cancer story. She opens up about discovering a lump while filming in Costa Rica, the delays and doubts of early diagnosis, and the moment she heard the words: “It’s cancer.” She shares the emotional impact of telling her children, navigating life post-mastectomy, and how her daughter helped name her reconstructed breast “Motzy.”

From biopsies to body image, from walking through forests to walking through fear, Julia speaks with honesty and hope about surviving and thriving.

Oscar is also joined by consultant breast and oncoplastic surgeon Joanna Franks from HCA Healthcare UK, who breaks down breast screening, dense breasts, genetic testing, and what every woman (and man) should know about risk and early detection.
