Samuel Johnson's sister halts breast cancer treatment after seven-year battle

Love Your Sister's Connie Johnson has some heartbreaking news. 

After her seven-year breast cancer battle, the Canberra mother-of-two and sister of Australian actor Samuel Johnson, 38, has announced she will cease treatment. 

"I thought maybe it was time to consider stopping treatment," Connie, 40, told the Canberra Times. 

Over the years, Connie's treatment has included a double mastectomy, as well as chemotherapy and radiation. She also underwent various treatments for bone cancer aged 11, and a tumour in her womb at 22. 

"So that's 10 to 11 years of cancer treatment in a 40-year lifespan and I guess my organs are just saying, 'No more. No more'," she said.

Though it's not without one last fight. 

Connie wants to raise another $1 million for breast cancer research in what she's describing as "my last big project", through the Big Heart Project in Canberra.
