Julie Allen lived with vague symptoms for quite some time – back pain, flu-like symptoms – but she explained these away with her busy life as a physiotherapist and mother of three young kids.

Julie discusses how she coped with a blood cancer diagnosis as a young mum, and shares some insight and expertise on the importance of exercise as a treatment for cancer.
