Former host of reality TV show "X Factor" Sarah-Jane Crawford has talked about the struggle that she had to face due to cancer.
The 33-year-old TV personality has suffered through the deadly disease and revealed that after having a lump removed from her right breast, she discovered another in her left one earlier this month, reported Female First.
"I tried to separate emotions from it and told myself that if I needed it removed, that's what I would do. But the operations are traumatic. I'm not very good under general anaesthetic," Crawford said.
The actress also disclosed that after undergoing her first operation she couldn't even walk across the road by herself.
"After my first operation my immune system was so low that when I went back to work - just three weeks afterwards - I caught a bad virus and was really ill," she said.
Dealing positively with the disease, the star said, "I'm now considered a high risk for breast cancer, but in a way that makes me less at risk because I know about it. So if I do find something again, it's not likely to be serious yet.
