Sarah Beeny: Those with cancer should not feel ashamed of their bald heads
(Picture: Sean Dempsey/PA)Sarah Beeny has given fans an update on her health after she celebrated her final round of chemotherapy last week.
On Monday, the property expert turned 51 and revealed how her husband Graham Swift marked the occasion with an extra special breakfast in bed.
The TV presenter, who has documented her journey with breast cancer online, shared a photo of a bowl of porridge with blueberries arranged in a smiley face.
She captioned the post: “Birthday brekkie in bed!!!! Graham bring particularly lovely today!! Xxx”.
To add to her joy, the Channel 4 star announced on her Instagram on Friday (January 6) that she had “no more chemo” left to do.
Beeny penned: “Not sure what is making the sun shine the most – 2 days into steroids (happy pills!!!) – no more chemo or @the_entitled_sons releasing their best song yet…
“YES Friday IS a good day xx #finishedchemo #HEAVENKNOWS @nickyjohnston (sic)”.
Last week, the presenter revealed that she was set to undergo her final chemotheraphy session after her previous session was cancelled due to medics discovering her liver numbers were too high and her white blood cell count was too low.
Sharing a photo of a coffee mug and a few biscuits, Beeny explained at the time she had been “laying around like a Dowager Duchess” following her cancelled treatment.
Captioning the post, she revealed: “Been delivered the perfect tray this morning by the brilliant Billy Swift!! Happy slightly late New Year to everyone...
“Been laying around like a Dowager Duchess a bit since last Chemo on 30th was cancelled because liver numbers too high and white blood cells too low…
“Just as you think you’re there… bit less Eeyore now and hoping bloods better this week… Hope you all were partying for me!!! Thank you all for your lovely messages!”
The property expert shared news of her diagnosis in August, and previously said that she almost expected to develop the disease after losing her mum to cancer aged 39, when Sarah was just 10.
Beeny — who is best known for her work on UK property programmes including Help! My House Is Falling Down and Sarah Beeny’s New Life In The Country — told The Telegraph that she had begun a course of chemotherapy to treat the cancer and had surgery.
