Trisha Goddard has revealed her breast cancer has returned and while there is no cure she is undergoing life-prolonging treatment.
Now Has Stage 4 Cancer
The TV host, 66, was first diagnosed with the disease in 2008 and now has secondary breast cancer – also known as metastatic or stage 4 breast cancer – after cells were found in her hip following a fall.
She told Hello! that she was speaking out in order to remove the weight of the secret from her shoulders after learning the news 19-months ago.
Her Statements in Full
Saying: ‘I can’t lie, I can’t keep making up stories. It gets to a stage, after a year and a half, when keeping a secret becomes more of a burden than anything else.’
The former chat show host said she didn’t want to be seen as ‘frail’ by those close to her and planned to keep doing the things that made her happy.
‘[The disease] is not going to go away, and with that knowledge comes grief, and fear. But I must keep enjoying what I have always enjoyed’.
When it Was First Discovered
Trisha previously revealed she nearly died following the fall in 2022, after which the cancer was discovered.
The Trauma is Still There
She went into shock after breaking her thigh bone and was relying on a walking frame and sticks following emergency surgery.
Trisha admitted she was still ‘not out of the woods’ following her near fatal accident which left her in ‘roaring pain’.
She took to Instagram where she detailed her terrifying ordeal, revealing how she’d been rushed to casualty after falling down the stairs.
