Explains that you have to be positive and active about beating breast cancer.

 



Well the thing is, if you find out you've got cancer you've got to be positive. You've got to try and beat it because I think you are bigger than the cancer, so you've got to beat it. And you've got to be determined to make sure it doesn't get the better of you.

So you get up every day, thank God you are living, and try to do what you have to do.

You do not sit down and think: "Well I'm going to get better," because you will get better, but if you sit down you're going to feel lazy, and you're going to start getting, you know, careless.

But if you are up, you're about, at least you are active. You know, you are positive. Very positive you've got to be. And you've got to do what you know you're supposed to do: eat the right food, do the right things, get your exercises. You can't go to the gym but you can still go for a walk, walk round the block and come back.

But you've got to be very positive about it.
