As the shock wore off and cancer became the reality they would be living, they immediately offered tremendous support. Along with her parents and a close friend, Julianne went to the oncologist her doctor had recommended to determine a treatment plan to combat her cancer. The oncologist was optimistic that with a combination of surgery to remove the cancerous cells followed by six chemotherapy treatments to ensure that all of the cells were destroyed, Julianne could overcome this cancer and go into remission.
