Sarah Beeny has issued a tough admission about her cancer battle. The Channel 4 star is set to explore her cancer diagnosis in a documentary.
Sarah told ITV This Morning stars Holly Willoughby and Josie Gibson she is feeling “really well”. She says she uses the term “end of treatment” to “all-clear”, reports Birmingham Live.
Sarah added: “They don’t say you’re definitely fine, they say that’s the end of the treatment.” But Sarah added: “It’s kind of the reason I’ve fitted so much into my life. I kind of assumed when I got to 39 [the age that her mother died] that will be it and I got to 40 and was like ooh we’re still here.”

Devastatingly, Sarah said: “They say ‘you’ve got breast cancer’ but what you hear is ‘what kind of coffin would you like?'” Sarah added: “If you’ve got any suspicion of any lump, go and get it checked out. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the outcome."
Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country presenter, 51, discusses how the cancer diagnosis impacted her, husband Graham Swift and their four children, 18-year-old Billy, 16-year-old Charlie, 14-year-old Raffey and 12-year-old Laurie. "I'd lived with fear of cancer since my mother died... So I suppose, first of all, I started making the documentary largely because I thought it might help other people if they watched what I went through," she said.
"But also because I wanted to go on a journey where I sort of had something I wanted to find out, which is that cancer treatment was better than it used to be when my mother died. And then it was. So I was like, brilliant! That's what I want to know. And the future is even better.
"I was so scared of getting cancer, and now I'm not scared of cancer." Sarah Beeny vs Cancer is on Channel 4 at 9pm on Monday, June 12.
