Patient 71: An inspiring true story of a mother’s love that fueled her fight to stay alive

I laughed and cried all the way through as Julie fought everyday issues during terrible circumstances. Thoroughly enjoyed this read. - Nancy Weatherford

An inspiring true story of resilience, tenacity and a promise that fueled one woman’s fight for life. Four days after her fiftieth birthday celebrations, Julie Randall suffered a very sudden and severe seizure at work. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Advanced Melanoma, she was told to get her affairs in order because she didn’t have long to live. After getting over the initial shock, Julie fought off the fear and started searching for hope. She found an American experimental drug trial, but was told there was only room for 70 patients and the numbers were full. Julie had promised her teenage daughters that she would find a way to ‘fix it’ so she refused to take no for an answer. She became PATIENT 71. She discovered that when you push the boundaries, refuse to give up and never lose sight of your goal… extraordinary things can happen.
