Edwina Bartholomew's cancer diagnosis: Nat Barr warning triggered tests


A single warning from Natalie Barr triggered Edwina Bartholomew to get tested for cancer.

Edwina Bartholomew has thanked Natalie Barr for prompting her to get tested a month before her shock cancer diagnosis, as she encourages all Australians to prioritise their health by getting checked. 'I had a pimple on my nose that wouldn't go away, plus I reckon it had been couple of years since I had a skin check, so I went the dermatologist,' Barr told viewers, in a segment that showed her attending a clinic to seek treatment. Barr shared her story to inspire others to get checked, and just moments after the segment aired, Bartholomew picked up her phone and booked her own appointment.
