Sisters Share Double Cancer Diagnosis
12 Jan
Summary
- Two sisters diagnosed with cancer within three months of each other.
- One sister battles Stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma, the other Stage I breast cancer.
- The sisters use humor and social media to cope with their diagnoses.
Sisters Julie and Kellilynn Murray, separated by six years but often mistaken for twins, are facing a profound challenge after both were diagnosed with cancer within a three-month span starting in November 2024. Julie, 34, was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma following persistent sickness and abnormal lab results. Shortly after, Kellilynn, 28, discovered a lump during a routine exam, leading to her Stage I breast cancer diagnosis in October 2025.
The sisters, who have always been inseparable, found solace in their shared experience. Julie began chemotherapy and immunotherapy for her diagnosis, while Kellilynn underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Their parallel battles, though unexpected, have deepened their bond, providing a unique comfort in knowing they aren't alone.
