Judith Lucy tried to get well. Cancer had other plans

The thing about cancer is — it doesn't care what else you've got going on in your life. It will strike whenever it is ready.

For comedian Judith Lucy, the moment cancer chose was just weeks before she launched her latest book Well Well Well, auspiciously all about a health journey she's been on.

She's spent the last few years trying ayahuasca. Someone else's poo. MDMA and psylocibin therapies. All trying to cure the ailments and burnout that have haunted her for years.

The one thing she was certain that she was not curing, was cancer. Until she received an ominous call just weeks from her book launch.
