On Wednesday, Sunrise’s US correspondent Tim Lester spoke about the battle.
“It was a chapter of her life clearly very difficult and private,” Lester said.
“This is seven years ago, 2017, she was 53 years old. She talks about going to a beach in Miami to pray and meditate after a series of experts and doctors told her about her diagnosis.
“She said in all, 32 had advised her to follow the traditional course (surgery, followed by radiation, and chemo).
“She chose, she said, the toughest choice of her life, not to follow the traditional course. But to follow a course that was closer to her heart and she went to Phoenix, rented an apartment, and concentrated on her good health.
“She talks today about being fully in remission. She says she is healthy and can write about it.”
