Like all girls, when I was growing up, I always worried about this bit of me being too fat or that bit. But I look back at pictures of me when I was young, and I was thin and gorgeous.

I did grieve a bit when I wasn't having the chemo anymore. I was used to sitting in the little chair and then the nurse would come and do it. It was like that was your job for that long and it was reassuring.

Well, I'm lucky because, you see, I'll probably bounce back from this role.

The truth is, you can be honest with your friends - but you just can't be honest with the general public if you want to keep your friends.
