Sarah Cawood gives ‘anxious’ cancer update

TV presenter Sarah Cawood said she is “anxious” her breast cancer has returned and the fear is “like a shadow on a sunny day”. The former host of BBC’s Saturday morning children’s show Live & Kicking, 51, said she hoped she was ‘overreacting’ to news she was dating but wanted to show that ‘anxiety is with you for the rest of of life” after cancer. .

Sharing a video of herself crying in bed next to her sleeping son, she wrote on Instagram: ‘I got a text today saying I have an appointment on Tuesday… I had a mammogram two weeks ago but I also said to the breast. nurses I was concerned about some marks on my other breast so I don’t know if this appointment is about that (which is already gone) or my mammogram.




“I’m sure it’s the latter, but the fact that it’s a bank holiday weekend and the date is so soon has me all sorts of worried. It never leaves you. The fear that He has returned.

“I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about, but here’s the thing: I’m happier than I’ve ever been. My life is wonderful and I don’t want it to end any time soon, and this stupid bastard. ** Thing I had, it’s always there, like a shadow on a sunny day, threatening to ruin this amazing life I lead.

“I hope I’m overreacting and I’m sure I am, but I’m posting this because that’s the reality of having cancer: it never really leaves you. The disease does, but the anxiety is with you for the rest of your life. I hope it’s a long and healthy one.”

She added: “To all my pink sisters: I have you, I feel you, I am you.” She captioned the video, “This is what post-breast cancer anxiety looks like.”

Cawood, who now works mainly as a voice-over artist and podcast host, previously presented shows such as Top Of The Pops and The National Lottery. In her Instagram bio, she says she “used to be famous.” In September 2022, she announced that she had been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer the previous year and had made a full recovery.
