She wrote: "To everyone on a cancer journey right now. I know it's difficult.
"I know the ups & downs of every appointment & every day can be tough, but we humans are resilient & there is some amazing support out there for us all. Thank you all the communities & charities offering help."
At the time of he diagnosis, Julia urged other women to check any unusual lumps or bumps.
Writing on Twitter, she said: "Please self-check regularly and if you have any unexplained pain, tenderness or lumps, please ask for checks and follow ups. And ask for a second opinion if you’re not happy."
Last month, Julia returned to This Morning for one day only for the first time since having a mastectomy surgery.
At the time, she told host Alison Hammond: "I had a mastectomy a couple of months ago, I have been doing lots of physio, I have been doing lots of treatment. My healing is going very well thank you."
Taking to her Instagram ahead of the show, Julia explained to her fans that she was returning to the show 'for one morning only' as she said: "Baby steps! I'm back in my happy place among the trees for one morning only. I'll be live on @thismorning on @itv in the forest, from 10am.
"My doc has cleared me to do a morning of work."
