Sarah Harding Of Girls Aloud Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis And Says It’s Spread

Sarah Harding made a depressing revelation on her Instagram today by announcing that she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago, and in even more depressing news, she found out a couple of weeks ago that the cancer has spread to other parts of her body. Fucking cancer–you sonofamonster! If cancer was a person they’d be less likable than Piers Morgan.

38-year-old Sarah was in Girls Aloud in the early-aughts before the group split in 2013. Sarah has dealt with addiction issues in the past and went to rehab in 2011. Sarah was in the UK tour of Ghost The Musical in 2016, and popped up on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, but has been pretty quiet since then. Sarah hadn’t posted on her Instagram since 2018 and her return to Instagram was a sad one.

The Daily Mail said Sarah shared a picture of herself in a hospital bed, explaining her cancer diagnosis and how she’s getting weekly chemo treatments:

“Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a couple of weeks ago I received the devastating news that the cancer has advanced to other parts of my body… I’m currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions and I am fighting as hard as I possibly can. I understand this might be shocking to read on social media and that really isn’t my intention.”

Sarah decided to share the shit news after it got out that she was in the hospital:

“Last week it was mentioned online that I had been seen in hospital, so I feel now is the time to let people know what’s going on and this is the best way I can think of to do so… My amazing mum, family and close friends are helping me through this, and I want to say a thank you to the wonderful NHS doctors and nurses who have been and continue to be heroes.”

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping safe and well during these uncertain times. I’ve not posted on here for so long, thank you to everyone who has reached out to check in on me, it really does mean a lot. I feel now is the right time to share what’s been going on. There’s no easy way to say this and actually it doesn’t even feel real writing this, but here goes. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a couple of weeks ago I received the devastating news that the cancer has advanced to other parts of my body. I’m currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions and I am fighting as hard as I possibly can. I understand this might be shocking to read on social media and that really isn’t my intention. But last week it was mentioned online that I had been seen in hospital, so I feel now is the time to let people know what’s going on and this is the best way I can think of to do so. My amazing mum, family and close friends are helping me through this, and I want to say a thank you to the wonderful NHS doctors and nurses who have been and continue to be heroes. I am doing my very best to keep positive and will keep you updated here with how I’m getting on. In the meantime I hope you’ll all understand and respect my request for privacy during this difficult time. Sending you all so much love….xx

Cancer stays being evil. Time for us Girls Aloud stans to get to work with lighting our candles and praying over the Call The Shots music video.

We better add The Loving Kind for extra power.
