My Job Saved My Life

A cancer survivor is alive only because of a simple twist of fate which resulted in her tagging along to a breast screening.

Helen Golightly, 57, a chronic disease nurse from Sydney, originally only went in for a mammogram in 2013 to encourage one of her clients with a family history of cancer.
