Former federal justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould has announced that she will commence treatment for breast cancer after undergoing recent surgery. Taking to social media, Wilson-Raybould expressed gratitude to the support she has received and drew strength from others’ stories of resilience and recovery. She specifically thanked her medical team and the B.C. Cancer Agency for their care during this challenging time.
Encouraging vigilance in health, Wilson-Raybould urged individuals to prioritize regular mammograms and screenings for various cancers and health issues.
