I’ll be changing my diet, the way that I live, the amount of stress that I have. I’m absolutely going to make sure that I do everything I can to be as healthy as possible and to just look after my body.”

She also shared that she was currently undergoing preventative treatments to keep her cancer from returning.

She added: “It would be crazy to say it’s not a thought that lives in your everyday brain, but it’s how that voice affects you. The truth is none of us know… To focus on worrying would be a waste of the time I’ve got.”
