“Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and a few weeks ago I received the discouraging message that the cancer has spread to other parts of my body,” she wrote.
It appears that Harding was informed that Christmas last year would probably be her last. Thus, she tries to enjoy every day she has left, according to Sky News.

Do not have many months left
She further points out that she does not want to know exactly how much time she has left.
– I’m sure some people may not think it’s a good idea, but I will try to enjoy myself. I’m at a stage now where I do not have many months left. Who knows, maybe I will surprise everyone, but that’s how I look at things, she continues.
The excerpt from the forthcoming book also states that the singer developed sepsis, which led to her being placed in a coma.
According to Lommelegen For example, sepsis or blood poisoning is a very serious infection, in which bacteria have entered the bloodstream.
The bacteria have usually entered the body and created infection somewhere else first, for example in the lungs in the form of pneumonia – before they then pass into the blood and cause blood poisoning.

Harding first had a venous port in his body, which allowed the doctors to administer the chemotherapy, but the place where it was placed swelled up and became very painful.
According to the University Hospital in Northern Norway websites a venous port is a hollow capsule with a silicone pad that is connected to a silicone catheter. The port is operated into a pocket under the skin, where the catheter part is placed in a main vein.
Had to prepare for the worst
It was then discovered that the star had sepsis.
– The gate was removed immediately, but with both my lungs and kidneys failing, the doctors decided to put me in a coma. Even then, my doctor was not sure if he could wake me, so then they advised my mother to prepare for the worst, she continues.
After two weeks, she woke up from a coma, but was still on a respirator.

– Even when I was not in the respirator, I could not speak properly. All I could do was make sounds that sounded like a chimpanzee trying to communicate, she adds.
Sarah Harding became really famous when she broke through in the girls group “Girls Aloud” 18 years ago. The group also consisted of Cheryl Cole (37), Nadine Coyle (35), Nicola Roberts (35) and Kimberley Walsh (39).
The group had enormous success in the UK, where they regularly topped the charts. In 2013, however, it said stop, and the group was dissolved.
