You know their faces; you heard they had breast cancer. But do you know what really happened to these women? Health.com pulled together the details about how 10 of the world's top performers and public figures endured breast cancer's treatments and traumas——all while living in the public eye.
All taken from Health.com:
"Sheryl Crow is one of music’s biggest talents, but you’d never know it talking to her. The mom of 2-year-old Wyatt is more likely to chat about motherhood than about being a rock star (even President Obama has her music on his iPod). Despite her fame, she’s still the same down-to-earth girl from Missouri.
Not that Sheryl, 47, is afraid of the spotlight—she’s been an advocate for a ton of causes, including finding a cure for breast cancer, which she was involved with even before her own cancer diagnosis in 2006. (She’s now cancer-free.)
And while she’s always been a fitness fanatic and sensible eater, Sheryl’s now even more mindful of preserving her health. In 2007, she opted for a less stressful life and moved to a farm outside of Nashville, where she lives with Wyatt.
This month, Sheryl releases a deluxe two-disc edition of her debut album Tuesday Night Music Club, stuffed with goodies like a bonus DVD, rarities, and B-sides. At the end of a busy day, she took questions submitted by Health readers. (“Great question!” she kept exclaiming, so kudos to you!)
Q: I’m a breast cancer survivor, and I’m wondering, are you doing anything special with your diet to stay healthy and cancer-free?
—Sherry Lebed Davis, Lynnwood, Wash.
Sheryl: When I first got diagnosed, I went to this great nutritionist who specializes in disease prevention and well-being, and I still incorporate her tips like eating omega-3s—I eat salmon or other fish at least three times a week.
I eat a lot of walnuts, almonds, colorful vegetables, and prunes, which get such a bad rap but are loaded with antioxidants. I also drink pomegranate juice and keep a vat of tomato soup around or some kind of tomato sauce, because it has lycopene. Also, spices like cinnamon, which I throw into my cereal.
And one big thing I learned was that so much of wellness depends on your body getting rid of waste. So I eat a lot of Fiber One, which has 14 grams of fiber per serving."
