Former Top of the Pops presenter Sarah Cawood has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Once noted for her bright red hair during her time presenting kids TV show Live & Kicking, Sarah is now sharing her health story and a strong message as she undergoes treatment.
The mum of two was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer in August. She told The Sun : "It was my first ever routine mammogram and I got a letter back saying they couldn’t give me my screening result back yet. So I had another mammogram and an ultrasound and then they said ‘We’re going to biopsy you’. That’s where they take a bit of tissue from your boob.”
In an upbeat sounding interview, the now 50-year-old says that she was later told that the lump in her breast was not just a cyst and feared the worst, worrying that it could be an aggressive form. Sarah lives with her husband Andy Merry and their son and daughter Hunter, ten, and Autumn, nine, according to the Mirror.
