OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Beeny has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 50-year-old TV presenter was given the heart-breaking news three weeks ago after she found a lump in her breast, and she has started chemotherapy ahead of having a mastectomy in the new year, and then radiotherapy.
Speaking about the moment she found out, Sarah – who has sons Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Rafferty, 14, and Laurie, 12, with her husband, Graham Swift – said: “Even though we’d all got masks on, you can look at people’s eyes. And I thought, ‘Oh, I know what those eyes are saying.’
“Then I turned around and there was this lovely lady there who was a breast cancer support nurse, sitting on the chair next to me. I looked at her and thought, well, you’re not here because you’re bored or looking for a nice, cool room to sit in. I just said, ‘Look, I’ve got cancer, haven’t I?’ And they just said yes.”
Sarah admits she had “a little bit of a breakdown” in the consultation room, and says she has been expecting to be diagnosed with breast cancer after her mum died of the disease, which spread to her brain, aged 39, when the former ‘Property Ladder’ host was just 10 years old.
She added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “The nurse was so sweet and they were really nice to me but I thought, ‘You don’t understand. I have waited 40 years to hear those words.’ I knew I was going to hear it one day.
“I guess resilience is the main thing it’s taught me. When someone dies when you’re young, you don’t really understand the impact completely, but there are holes later on. You think, ‘Oh, that’s where my mum would be,’ like when you have a child.
“The fear makes you pack a lot in. My husband always says I’m so impatient in life and I think I’m impatient because it might run out; you might not have any more time. So I guess that’s how it’s impacted me a lot.”
Sarah took to Twitter to reveal she missed CarFest last weekend after undergoing her first round of chemotherapy on Friday (26.08.22).
She wrote: “Thanks so much for your kind comments after not being at Carfest supporting my sons who were playing – first session of chemo for breast cancer on Friday kept me away – not much else would!”
Sarah also thanked fans for sending her “positive vibes”.
Replying to a message from TV presenter Fern Britton, she tweeted: “Thanks so much for message – so many lovely messages – with this many positive vibes it will all be fine! X (sic)”
