The Book

About the Author

Julia is a breast cancer survivor and author of “Breast Cancer-the notebook” a reference guide that provides a foundation of facts to the newly diagnosed, survivors or those wishing to take a preventative view from age 18 and up. Julia actively pursues health and wellness through running, cross-training, Pilates, and fueling her body with an organic vegetarian diet. She finds joy and meaning as a patient advocate for those with breast cancer, interaction and support for kids in need and teaching exercise to the over eighty crowd. When Julia heard the words “breast cancer”, she began doing extensive research to “get her arms around” what she would have to deal with. Shortly thereafter, she traveled to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston where she was met by a highly skilled team, who after several tests and analysis suggested a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. After her surgery, Julia took the road less traveled and opted not to have radiation or chemotherapy but instead implemented a natural plan of care consisting of wheat grass, juicing, super foods, a raw Vegan diet, prayer, exercise, and making her home environment as clean and green as possible. Each day Julia would research everything she could find on breast cancer and the immune system. The result was notebooks filled with data that has now been transferred to her book, Breast Cancer-the Notebook—a compilation of easy to understand facts at the fingertips of the reader. Julia’s doctor, Merrick I. Ross, at MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the top surgical oncologists in the country has endorsed this book and written the introduction.
