In this deeply personal episode of Her-Stories, we speak with Juliet, a 60-year-old community worker and fierce advocate for women’s health, who shares her powerful experience of being diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. Juliet walks us through her journey from unexpected symptoms, surgery, and chemotherapy, to the emotional toll and mental resilience it took to keep going.

With raw honesty and warmth, Juliet reflects on the silence surrounding ovarian cancer, the strength of the NHS, and the importance of strong women-like her own mother- who inspired her fight. She reminds us that survival isn’t just about treatment, but also about processing trauma, seeking support, and daring to talk about the parts of womanhood we often hide.

💚 “I’m still here- and I’m grateful. That’s enough.”
