British TV presenter Trisha Goddard was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, and again in 2021. She did not disclose her diagnosis stating, "I was grappling with how to deal with it myself. Plus I just wanted to work and be me."

She went on to say, "With CNN and my colleagues there, they didn’t know that I had no hair, that I had no feeling in my legs – from the treatment, because I had chemo every week for four and a half months..."

“It’s not who I am, it’s what I’m living with...And coming back to people with with chronic illnesses, I think we do them a disservice when we use words like ‘brave’, ‘champion’, ‘hero’, ‘survivor’, because they just want to grasp the life they have, and drink life unto the lees...And I don’t want everything to be ‘Oh, you look so good’, in brackets ‘considering you’ve got cancer’."
