Comedian Michelle Brasier shares her story.
‘It can be really freeing’: How my 97% chance of developing cancer inspired me to embrace every moment
“Then my brother got cancer when he was 42, and he passed away within a year as well. My sister had pre-cancerous polyps in her stomach lining, so it just all added up, I suppose. It just got me thinking.”“I'm very proactive about my health.” says Michelle. “So, I went to my GP, and I explained: ‘This is my family history, do I need to get checked for anything? I’m a lot younger than my brother and sister so I've got a head start and I'd love to use it.
“I’m here for as much time as I can have,” says Michelle. “It doesn't have to be doom or gloom. It doesn't have to mean that I'll get cancer and die. Maybe I'll get cancer and it will be caught.”“I’m in London, I’m having a great time,” says Michelle. “I work in film and television. I’ve had a wonderful life. I'm so lucky to have done that.“I just don't waste my time. I want to enjoy it.
