Olivia’s story can help save others

-

I only know actress Olivia Williams (left) from The Sixth Sense, but I really enjoyed her interview with Julia Llewellyn Smith in last Sunday’s You magazine. Reading her account of being diagnosed with, and treated for, a rare form of pancreatic cancer, it’s clear that Olivia has an inspiratio­nal strength of character and I send my best wishes to her and her beautiful family.

Hopefully last week’s article will help to convince other people experienci­ng similar symptoms to Olivia to ask for tests. As the article said, pancreatic cancer kills one in four patients within a month of diagnosis.

I love the optimistic tone of the interview. Olivia’s strength really shines through and it’s so good to read about a survivor of this awful disease.

Olivia Williams was actually my babysitter many years ago. She’s a great actress – and a great babysitter!

It’s such a relief to read that Olivia seems to be in remission. She’s as brilliant in The Nevers as she is in everything, and I can’t wait to see her as Camilla in The Crown.
