\"\"<\/span>Photo: ABC and ET<\/a><\/span>Three\u2019s Company<\/em> star Suzanne Somers<\/a> was just 49 years old when she learned she had cancer. She recently talked to Fox News about her cancer diagnosis and how it was the first time she really thought of her mortality. \u201c[Before my diagnosis], I was on top of the world. Nothing felt wrong with my body. But when your doctor utters the word \u2018cancer,\u2019 you feel your mortality, and it\u2019s heavy. I remember walking down the beach with my husband, and we just held each other,\u201d she says.<\/span>Somers, who is now 73 years old, says that she had a routine mammogram scheduled on the same day she was scheduled for rehearsals in Las Vegas. Her doctor suggested that they try a new ultrasound machine that was able to detect up to 20% of lumps that mammograms may miss. That\u2019s when she learned of a malignant tumor in her right breast.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Suzanne Somers and her cancer diagnosis<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: ABC<\/a><\/span>Somers was surprised to learn that she had cancer<\/a>. For years, she had been sharing her workout routines and eco-friendly lifestyle tips, so this truly came as a shock. \u201cI just remember saying to myself, \u2018I can beat this. I\u2019m going to win this,’\u201d Somers shares. \u201cAnd I felt that very strongly. There\u2019s always an opportunity in every negative. I could easily have said, \u2018Poor me, why me?\u2019 But I wasn\u2019t having it. I knew I was going to do everything I could to beat this.\u201d<\/span>Despite the healthy lifestyle she was already living, she made a change to it, as the cancer diagnosis was a wake-up call. \u201cI completely changed the way I ate,\u201d Somers remembers. She says that she removed all the chemicals in her home and began eating completely organic<\/a> and clean. \u201cI wasn\u2019t going to let my body become a host for the disease.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>The cancer diagnosis ultimately changed her way of life<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: ET<\/a><\/span>Somers did refuse chemotherapy but underwent a lumpectomy and radiation. She then became one of the first women in the U.S. to legally undergo a cell-assisted lipotransfer<\/a> to help reconstruct her breast. Today, Somers is a survivor and a warrior. She says that the diagnosis ultimately changed her life for the better. \u201cFor me, my body feels better eating clean and not absorbing toxins,\u201d she explains.<\/span>\u201cAnd I knew when it came to creating my products, it had to be better than the chemical stuff that\u2019s out there. And I\u2019m really proud of them. They speak for themselves. They\u2019re made with ingredients I feel completely at ease with, ones I use on my own.\u201d It sounds like her life has greatly transformed from the experience, and we\u2019re glad to hear she\u2019s doing much better!<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
