Trisha Goddard, best known for hosting the talk show Trisha, has revealed her cancer has returned after previously being diagnosed in 2008 and recovering from the illness. <\/p>\n

The 66-year-old has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer – meaning the disease started in the breast and spread to another part of the body – for which there is treatment but no cure.<\/p>\n

In her case, the cancer <\/strong>is in her bones, specifically her right hip, she said in an interview with Hello! magazine.<\/p>\n

Goddard was told of the news 19 months ago but has only now opened up about it.<\/p>\n

The presenter, who is a familiar face to ITV <\/strong>and Channel 5 viewers on her show, said: “It’s not going to go away.<\/p>\n

“And with that knowledge comes grief, and fear. But I must keep enjoying what I have always enjoyed.”<\/p>\n

In the interview, the mum of two said that keeping the illness a secret was “becoming a burden” and while she was “nervous” about revealing the cancer’s re-emergence, “it needed to be done”.<\/p>\n

‘I can’t hide it any more’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TV personality shared the revelation on Instagram, where she said “like my new hairstyle – I can’t hide it any more”.<\/p>\n

The London-born TV star has been in the media for more than 40 years, and was concerned that if the news spread “people will start seeing me as a frail little thing”.<\/p>\n

She added: “I’m a journalist; I don’t want to be ‘the story’. I don’t want to be interviewing someone and for them to say to me: ‘I’m so sorry’.”<\/p>\n

‘Cancer doesn’t differentiate’<\/span>

Accidental discovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her secondary cancer was discovered by accident, after a fall in 2022, and a doctor told her that as well as breaking her femur, Goddard had damaged her right hip “which is full of cancer cells”.<\/p>\n

The star was also told she had a tumour, to which her first question was: “Am I going to die?”<\/p>\n

Goddard no longer lives in the UK having uprooted to the US in 2010.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons for her migration was the “traumatic experience” she suffered after her first diagnosis 16 years ago when she condemned the media for being overly intrusive.<\/p>\n

Speaking about how her cancer treatment was affected, she described the press as “vile” – adding: “We had to get security at the hospital, my kids were traumatised.”<\/p>\n

This time around, Goddard was treated with daily radiation for three weeks and chemotherapy over a period of time.<\/p>\n

On her shows Trisha mainly dealt with conflict resolution like infidelity, family ties and paternity issues.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
