36-year-old Canadian rocker Bif Naked admitted yesterday in the syndicated radio program “The Strombo Show⿿ that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Recently married to Vancouver sports columnist Ian Walker, the singer (real name: Beth Torbert) stated in the said show:
“I have never been one to give up when an obstacle is placed in front of me.
I am in the fight of my life and I’m lucky to have the support of my husband, Ian, and many friends and family members.
I went into my doctor for a checkup and he immediately sent me for tests, including a mammogram, which indicated a high possibility of cancer.
From there things have gone at what seems like light speed: biopsy, blood tests, cancer clinic. It’s been two weeks from being completely healthy to cancer patient with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy scheduled.
Even those in great health can be subject to cancer as a diagnosis.
I urge all women at every age to self examine and go for scheduled mammograms. Early detection is the best tool in the fight against cancer.”
I guess she has the right attitude in dealing with the condition.
