Julia Bradbury shares her 'dread' as she details her breast cancer operation in searingly open and honest TV documentary

TV presenter Julia Bradbury's documentary charting her journey from breast cancer diagnosis to her operation airs on ITV on Thursday, April 28, and viewers should expect to see the no-nonsense presenter being just that about her health challenge, resulting in an amazingly open and honest account of what she, and millions of other women go through.

Airing on ITV, the TV presenter kept a video diary of her journey from the very early days of her diagnosis, to her preparations for a potentially life-saving single mastectomy, the diary entries show the support from her family, mum Julia and sister Gina and Julia speaks about how difficult it was telling her children.

But it's the accounts at hospital, where Julia, 51, prepares for her op that are most starkly open as she talks about losing part of her body, hugging her children before isolating in preparation to go under the knife and the pre-op preparations as she gets marked up so the surgeons know what and where to target in the operation.
