Dame Joan Bakewell has spoken candidly about her colon cancer diagnosis and her treatment process...
Explaining that she’s ‘fed drugs through a hole below her shoulder’, Dame Joan revealed her diagnosis has made her ‘more contemplative’ and urged others to go for check-ups.
Dame Joan’s sister, Susan, died of breast cancer at the age of 58 and the iconic presenter confessed she let her colonoscopy checks slip during lockdown.‘Now I’m campaigning to get everyone to check everything regularly as they age and send off for those kits where they can check if you have blood in your poo,’ she shared.
Dame Joan revealed that the one and only Sir David Attenborough, 96, occasionally checks in to see how she’s doing ‘We aren’t competitive; it’s comfort,’ said Dame Joan, who joined the BBC in the 50s as a studio manager before shooting to fame in 1965 when she starred on Late Night Line Up.
