Five years ago Julie Randall was told she was going to die. No ifs, no buts. Doctors not only said she had melanoma, but that the cancer had spread throughout her body. They said it was incurable and she’d be lucky if she survived the next nine months. But instead of despairing, Julie did something incredible. She made a promise to her family that she wouldn’t die. Then she did something even more amazing. Through sheer determination – and with time quickly running out – she forced her way onto an experimental drug trial in the United States. There had only been space for 70, until Julie became patient 71. This, however, was just the beginning of Julie Randall’s inspiring battle for survival.
